Hiya...I've poked around the reviews here for a bit and I'm really surprised by the (appearent) number of choices for Tivo control...i tried looking for something a year ago and came up empty. i'm looking for up-to-date recommendation on a remote that will handle:
Hughs Series II DirecTivo
Kenwood 1080VR
( five devices total )

The rest of my stuff is generic enough that I'm not too worried about it. The Kenwood's getting kinda old - not sure if that causes problems for newer remotes or not.

The other priority is working this remote in a non-line of sight fashion - tho fairly close distance.

I'm assuming I get an IR remote and a secondary IR-2-RF converter but whatever.

Budget is around $175 with RF functions.
