I have the following equipment in my Home Theater...
RCA Scentium HDTV, Samsung DVD, JVC Audio Receiver, and I just added a Motorola Cable PVR (BMC9012 Broadband Media Center with Moxie Remote Control). I guess "Moxi" is Digeo, Inc.'s trademark buzz word for "Tivo".
The Moxie Remote Control can only control the TV power OR the volumn on the Audio Receiver(NOT BOTH!). Does anyone know who manufactures the Moxi Remote Control?
I would like suggestions on a universal remote control which can handle the Moxi menu, control the volume on the Audio Receiver, pwer on/off the TV, and maybe even operate the DVD. DOes anyone know if the current remotes (or Q105 soon to be released) have the codes to recognize Moxi by Digeo?

I too have a BMC9012 DVR with Moxi Remote Control. The remote control does seem useless as a universal remote. (I haven't even been able to figure out how to program it to turn my TV on and off so you're ahead of me.) But I have been relatively successful in programming my Phillips Pronto TSU3000 Universal Remote Control to handle the Moxi Menus.
The one drawback to the Pronto is that it is a little slow responding to a button press. Usually it's not much of a problem but the BMC9012 expects to receive multiple digits of a channel number quickly. What this means is that I can change channels using the Moxi Menu or by using "channel-up" and "channel-down", but if I try to switch to channel 782 by typing 7-8-2, the BMC9012 switches to channel 7, then to 8, then finally to 2.

I agree with your assessment of the remote control. Have you also noticed that the infra-red requires a very precise point and shoot for the DVR recevier to recognize the remote signal!! It also seems that the Motorola DVR is not compatible with the univseral remote receivers (ie where you place an infra-red recever under your plasma TV with a receiving unit and it sends back the remote signal to all your related components. The DVR does not "recognize" the signal sent back.
