Universal remote to replace SA8000HD remote

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

Not exactly what you're looking for, but I've had good results using a Sony
3000 with my Motorola DCT-6200. Between the standard buttons & the custom
labels, all the features of the cable box remote can be covered.

I have the Harmony, and it works "well" but it's slow to program and slow to
change channels. You can tweak almost anything, and to be fair, I have not
done this to speed up channel changing. I'm not sure I like having to
connect to the web to program the unit, but it's worked fine. I am
controlling the TV, Stereo receiver, Satellite receiver, DVD, VHS and
Playstation. It's not hard to program, but will take a bit of time to learn
it.
