Default A new remote control?

Anyone know of an easy to use programmable remote control? Having recently
upgraded most of the stuff in my house I now have a remote for TV, VCR, DVD
recorder, Hi-Fi, set top box and... my gas fire.

Ideally I would programme all of the main functions into a single remote
control so that I would only have to use the proper ones for doing
adjustments etc.

Can anyone recommend such a remote?

The ones I have found are the One4All Mosaic and the Sony RMAV3000T

The Mosaic is priced at around £80 while the Sony is £130.

Has anyone any experience of either of these or any other?

A smart answer but sadly also a crap answer.

£20 worth of universal remote will not work with most of what I've got
because they're only progranned with big standard studd like Philips,
Panasonic, etc. Once you go upmarket they will not work.
For what I want I'll need something programmable.

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?
