I'm going to start looking into universal remotes. I'm starting to wear out the remote that came with the TV and I wouldn't mind replacing the 4 that are always on the ottoman in front of me (which would please my wife a great deal).

I'd like to keep the cost under $200 but $100 would be preferrable. It should also be reasonably easy for someone to use that isn't a rocket scientist. I personally don't mind the time that has to be spent programming it. But once the programming is done it should be easy for others to use.

I've noticed the ProntoNeo in Yahoo shopping selling from $200 retail down to $79 refurbished.

I have a Sony DVD player and a Sony CD player that holds 300 discs. I also have a Yamaha 995 AVR and an older 60in Mits TV.

Anyone out there have suggestions/insights/real life experience/recommendations?
