Hi, I just bought a whole new setup and the remotes are driving me nuts. I'm wondering what kind of remote could control everything. I'm looking for something under $50. Everything is hooked up via HDMI cables if that matters.

I have:
- Samsung LCD HDTV
- Sony Blu-ray Player
- Bose Cinemate II Speakers
- Charter Cable Box

Thanks!

RCA RCRP05B $20 at BestBuy, OneForAll URC-10820N (not B01) or URC-8820.

Use code TV 1903 for the Samsung (0702, 0812, and 1629 are alternates, but they'll all do the same thing unless your TV has a DCD or VCR built in.)

Sony BluRay use Video 1516 (very few universals have this code--and no Sony universals have the setup code)

Charter box depends on type, but it will be covered.

Bose-- I'm not sure. You may have to learn the signals, but Audio 1933 will probably work.

Unless the cable box is pretty new, most universals will handle it, either by setup code or by learning. If made in the last year or so, it may use the XMP IR protocol, which the above remotes will handle, but many others won't.

The main reason to not plan on learning all the functions is that you may want to program macros with discrete on/off and input source selections. That way you can typically reduce start up to a single keypress. But the OEM remotes tend to not be able to send the discrete signals, so the signals can't be learnt.
