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.
