    Is anyone using...

    the Radio Shack 6 component universal remote? The cost is around $60. I'd like to have one but for some reason, while I can stomach spending $2K on speaks, I have a problem spending $150 for a remote.

    This multi remote thing is getting old.

    I had one. It worked well for a long time. When I got my Yamaha RX-V1400, it couldn't do the macros that I wanted it to. So, I sold it on ebay and got a Pronto Neo for $52 off of ebay. More macro power than I would ever need. Plus anyone could pick it up and use my system - after extensive programming. With the radioshack kameleon, I had to have brother P-touch labels under the macro buttons to tell people what they were.

    I believe my remote is similar in price and function. It is worth the money to me. Not only can I control the following: DVD, Sat, TV, VCR, and A/V receiver, it also has a learning function. This means I can assign any function from my five remotes to any key on this all in one.

    In the past, I got cheaper remotes and sure enough there was some function that I needed and had to search for the original remote. Now, I have virtually every function learned and I never need the original remotes. Also, I have noted that the much better remotes actually transfer more of the functionality so there are fewer functions that need to be "learned".
