Phillips Pronto: http://www.pronto.philips.com/index.cfm?id=67

They're pretty pricey...

 

Awww come on guys! I thought that's what the ol' ladys were for! To change the channels when the batteries ran out on the remote!

Philips makes that particular model,,Harmon Kardon also makes one, very nice units for the audiophile. Your looking for a Philips Pronto in the neighborhood of $300.

I've had this remote for aboout 8 months, and it's worked great. It has a large touch screen thats backlit, and function learning capability to customize your remote. It controlls everything from my A/V equipment, to room lighting. It is a little pricey, ($199) but I couldn't be happier with it.

I had that one, it was great to have just 1 remote.
I've seen them lately for $129.
I took mine back after a month though, the writing was too small to see without my reading glasses.
