I am trying to find a replacement remote for my Sony TIVO recorder (DVR 2000). I am hoping to find a remote that will work with my Sony XBR TV, DVD Player, and Ecostar Satellite System. What do you recommend?

The new PVR remote from one-for-all, the urc-6131. It costs $18.

Just spend the money and get yourself an MX-500 or MX-700.
I've tried the others (Sony RM-AV3000, Philips Pronto, Harmony SST-748, RadioShack Kameleon, etc) and none give you the feeling that the remote is "an extension of your hand" except for the MX series (500, 700, 800). With touchscreen remotes you have to look at the remote then back at the display every time you enter a command, with a hard-button remote you can do it by feel and never need to look at your remote for normal viewing functions. The touchscreens look cool and have a high "impress your friends" factor but they aren't easy to use without looking at. The beauty of the MX series is that the transport and navigation functions are all accessable at the same time with the same thumb. I have two TiVo series 2 boxes and the peanut remote is good, the MX-500/700 take it to the next level. With one button push you can get to "now playing", "season pass manager", Live TV, etc.
I have mine programmed so that a single button push powers up my system (TV, VCR, Receiver, DVD player, TiVo) sets the receiver inputs to TiVo, Sets the TV input to the correct input (TiVo), and then tells my TiVo to go to the "now playing screen".
Most good universal remotes can be programmed to do this...
But when I don't want to look at the remote I can navigate the menus with one hand using one thumb (left or right handed) and get anywhere I need to go, add season passes, look up schedules etc. WITHOUT EVER looking down at the remote.
Spend the money and you'll never look back!
P.S. - I don't work for any company that manufactures remotes.
