Handy how close the cup holder is to all those little remote wells. Should go over real well during the next big game when after a few beers, you'll find you've placed your remote into a little puddle of beer that was spilled while you were cheering for your team.

I still have yet to find a perfect universal remote to replace my TiVo peanut remote. I just wish TiVo would take their remote design and make a universal out of it.

Not that I would advocate a system like this, but the problem with affordable universal remotes is that each device type has its own unique needs in a controller, and it seems pretty hard to make a universal that decently supports all the basic features of every common kind of device. The basic Harmony remotes put most of the second tier controls in a page system, making them very inconvenient to get to.
