I really need some help in choosing the right remotes for 3 rooms. Since I need 3 remotes with probably 2 of them requiring RF capabilities I would like to get the biggest bang for right price. All 3 remotes do not have to be the same. I have read many reviews by Daniel and tons of post. I am so over loaded with data that I can't make up my mind. Maybe if I mentioned what equipment I have in each room and what function I would like the remotes to perform I can get some good recommendations.
Family Room 60" Mitsubishi TV TIVO / SAT receiver combo by DIRECTV Cable Denon 3803 Reciever 2 Sony DVP-CS777ES Mega changers Escient DVDM-100 (This is a DVD & music manager that controls the 2 Sony Mega DVD changers)
Bonus Room 32" TV SAT receiver Single DVD player VCR player Philips Audio/Video Switchbox With RF Modulator Sound and video signals from Escient in family room is also sent to TV NOTE: Plan to add a Denon receiver in room along with speakers and maybe install DLP with screen sometime next year.
Master Bedroom TV SAT receiver Radio Shack A/B switch Sound and video signals from Escient in family room is also sent to TV
The remotes that will be in the bonus room and master bedroom will probably have to be RF to control the Escient which is in the family room. Right now I am looking for a setup which will not confuse the heck out of my wife who is non-technical. I have an electrical engineering degree and have connected all of the above equipment myself so I don't expect to have too much problem with the most advanced remotes. My wife on the other hand probably need 1 push macro buttons that say Watch TV or Watch DVD, Listen to Music, etc. Any help would be approciated.
