Actually, as this is a DIY forum, perhaps one should attempt
to tackle a homebrew device to replace all the remote controllers,
TV, Freeview PVR, Freesat PVR and Tosh VHS/DVD PVR in one control box?

My Logitech universal remote controls the TV, PVR, DVD and hifi, with
scope for more. (DIY insofar as it needs connecting to the Logitech
website to be configured and for mapping buttons.)


They don't mention it now (in fact I don't know if they even offer it
now), but there is also a stand-alone set up program. I've not used it
for some time now, but at the time, there were some things that it did
that you could not do on the website and vice-versa. They have probably
improved the website by now though.
