Any decent universal will allow you to program it from it from the
existing
remotes using the 'nose to nose' method

Err... I realise that, hence I'm wanting one.

What I need is a low down on the various types available. Philips, for
instance, do one which retails at over £200. I don't mind paying that sort
of dosh but is it worth it?



In my opinion it's not, but I imagine this will be a matter of
preference. Having owned a Philips Pronto for a while now I find I
really don't like LCD touch screen input and am intending to replace it
with a hard key control sometime soon, many folk however, love said
remote.

Having not used any other universal remotes I'm not really in a position
to advise, but can point you towards a good information source
