p.s. to my own note - the Sima isn't perfect (why I'm still investigating). I'd also like a little more flexibility in which controls I bring over from the unit remotes and how to name them. Anyone know of something that can do this? (e.g., my “Time/Disp” button brings up the cable menu, and the “Menu” button brings up the list of shows recorded - because I couldn't rename those buttons or others)

For those who were disappointed, I wanted to mention that I also received a different model universal Logitech and it was a nightmare to set up, so I don't use it. I have been using a Sima model for years (Sur-47) and since it's practically falling apart now (years of being dropped multiple times, still works but controls are a little less responsive now) I'm looking for a new one.

Anyway thanks for the comments here, because I will probably go back to Sima for a replacement. It also has both LCD and hard buttons in combo, and RF as well. Not quite as pretty as the Logitech, but for starters you don't have to hook it up to your computer for some kind of useless setup (as I experienced with the Logitech).

I've been using mine for a few months now without any issues. It was easy to setup. I use it with my TV, Surround Receiver, DVD Player, XBox 360 and PVR. It turns on and configures each device for the task I choose (Watch TV, Paly a Game, watch a DVD, etc.).
