Ok, so after reading all of the discussions around the forum lately on universal remotes, I decided to feel my wife out on how she felt about getting one. I had absolutely no idea how unhappy she was with our current remote situation. It took her all of five seconds to say "Get one," after I told her I could program it to do everything with a button press or two. I just pulled the trigger on an open box MX-700 from bluedo.com. Here's hoping it'll be as good as I want it to be!
