Default Remote control to turn on cable box, select a channel, then vcrby timer?

Virtually all the high-end remotes have a programmable macro capability
that can do what you want.



Thanks for the reply. All the ones I looked at online (logitech, etc)
even those in the $200 - $400 dollar range (that such things even
existed surprised me ;-) ) WILL run macros of the type "press a
button, turn on these 3 boxes, set them this way", but none I saw had a
clock that would do this at a variable time/channel you select, like you
set a vcr/tivo to record. Unless I missed that. Wouldn't be the 1st
time...
