Universal Remote MX-650 Omega Remote Control for Audio Video TV
Home-Theater is a wonderful thing. Unfortunately you can get bogged down with a whole basket of remote controls to operate all the TV and sound equipment. There's an effective and reasonable alternative that can help make your life and home-theater use much easier. Unlike most remotes that use InfraRed signaling (which requires line of sight), the Univeral Remote MX-650 Omega Remote Control uses radio frequencies to adjust settings of up to 20 components from up to 100 feet away. Each of the 20 components can be programmed with up to 4 pages of LCD screens, plus the 33 hard buttons. The MX-650 allows you to edit the text on each LCD screen exactly as you prefer (up to 26 screens with 10 buttons per screen, for a total of 260 available text buttons and up to 5 characters per button). One Year Parts and Labor Warranty from Universal Remote Requires 4 AAA batteries (not included)

Universal Remote MX-650 Omega Remote Control for Audio Video TV Reviews
Especially when combined with the RF extender, this remote beats anything on the market. I use it to control a pile of hidden components via the RF extender, as well as a projector and light switch which are IR line-of-sight. It doesn't have the fancy color LCD of some remotes, but the extensive customization capabilities and simultaneous IR/RF ability allow it to control everything. The ability to create complicated macros and create custom button labels mean that the techno-geek is happy, but can make the system easy enough to understand for the non-tech members of the family. I'm hoping for a follow-on product with some PC programming capability and fancy color graphics LCD, but for now this is the best deal going.
We have a DLP 1080i, cable, receiver, PS3 (also used for Blue Ray discs, X-Box, and Apple I-TV. We purchased a whole new system about 6 months ago. We especially enjoy the ease of enabling zone 2 to something other than our main zone uses: example: main zone is watching cable and zone 2 is listening to music on Apple I-tv.
For the first five months we used the remotes for all of the above seperately and there was only one person in the house who could make them all work. It took him 1 1/2 hours to set it all up.
We purchased this Omega and had someone come out to program everything at a charge of $100. It works very well with the I-TV. We do have to use the PS controller to fastforward, play, etc a movie - but it switches the blue ray system over to ready mode.
We couldn't be happier - it is dummy proof and takes very little instruction to use. We couldn't be more pleased, but probably saved a lot of frustration by spending the $100 to have a professional set it up.
easy to program, learn commands, etc. also. Learning remote will even works with Bang and Olufsen Products (B&O) says this does not happen often as the very high frequency needed to control them. easy to clone remotes once you do get one programmed. you just need to go and and 'learn' the commands. works thru walls with the receivers can control nearly anything.
customer assistance from universal remote is awesome. Great remote. i sent in one that stopped working and they replaced it without any drama. Can set receivers to only receive your signal so 'interference' from other remotes in the area will not control your 'stuff'.
I am so glad to have one remote and not five :-) It was not hard to program and it even works with our projector. Absolutely love it.
It even can be set up to turn on and off the tv and receiver at the same time so you don't have push alot of buttons. This one is great, no longer am I searching for the receiver, tv, tivo, and dvd remote.this actually does all the functions of the others. I bought this as a xmas gift for my husband. It was well worth the money. We have had a few universal programmable remotes before, none of which really worked.
