When I got the Tivo, I got one more remote. That made five, TV, Cable, Tivo, VCR and CD player. Most of the
time I only needed the Tivo remote, but when I wanted to watch cable direct I needed the cable remote plus the
TV remote to switch sources. Plus all five were laying around the living room. The answer was a truly universal
remote. In my case I got Phillips' Pronto remote. There
are others but I'm glad I got Pronto. You can program it control any device and because it uses an touch LCD display
you can design your buttons anyway you want. The Pronto may be the ultimate remote
Now with a second Tivo the Pronto proved its worth. Reprogramming Pronto to handle the new combinations possible
was straight forward.

Well since writing the above I have acquired another Tivo, a DVD player,
a DVD Recorder,
an AV receiver to increase available video inputs and an electronic video switch
to again increase available video inputs. As these changes occured they
were easily accomodated through reprogramming of the Pronto. Without
the Pronto I would be up to 9 remotes.
There is now a whole family of Pronto's from the Pronto Neo a low end version
to a full color version.
