if you have IP controlable kit or want to purchase a Wifi receiver and have an ipod and/or iphone look into "roomie" if not the logitech harmony range particularly the "one" are a couple of good options.

Harmony One. It does everything, and is so easy to set up and use - absolutely brilliant :exmark:

Plus... er... one for the Harmony One. I got the PS3 ket for it as well. Would never go back!

I'll give you a recomendation of one to avoid, the One For All Xsight touch......its rubbish and ergonomically horrible.

Something to bear in mind with the Harmony One for Sky users is that (IIRC) it lacks the coloured buttons. Touch screen replacements can be mapped but some don't like that.

Harmony 700 may be worth a look but I think only does six devices.

There are some very expensive universal remotes about but the Harmony One is pretty good and affordable and very configurable. True, it doesn't have the coloured hard buttons, but you can program these onto the touch screen. The software that comes with it is not too bad once you spend a little time with it. And yes, it will deal with most devices on the market and it is also a learning remote for the few devices that aren't in the Logitech online database.

Logitec even set up my ir lighting control for me online. Anything ir will work. Need to program my MS Mezzo sub now.
