This is a delightful little addition - It's quite pricey, but I highly recommend it. We got a new remote to go with the new HD receiver, to go with the new Blue Ray player, to go with the new flat screen. I love this thing! Larry loves this thing. More importantly, I love that we don't have 15 remotes sitting out all of the time getting lost, replacing batteries, and using 3 just to watch 1 movie! It's the Logitech Universal Remote! It really does do it all. You hit TV on, it turns on the receiver, the dish, and the TV. Then you hit 'watch movie' and it switches to the correct input channel, and turns on the blue ray player. It is seriously awesome!
