Universal Remote: recommendations?

Every few months, i get frustrated with dealing with so many remotes for my tv, dvd, surround sound, and satellite remotes.

Does anyone have any recommendations for 'beginners' universal remotes? Sites? Reviews? Prices?

I'm not entirely sure what my budget for this, but i'm ballparking 100usd maybe more if the consensus is extremely positive.

Not sure if the brand my equipment make a difference in recommendations ..

Sony LCD
Yahmaha receiver
Magnavox DVD
Dish Network Satellite.

thanks.
 
I use a Logitech Harmony 880 and I'm happy with it. I have not tried the lower priced models, but the web interface makes it easy to customize things.

I really like the activity based system they use for starting up devices and settings.
 
thanks for the links, i ordered that Harmony 676. Comes in on monday, so ill see how it handles the DISH and DVR.

Thanks again.

It should work great. I've got the Dish VIP622 HD-DVR and the 676 works wonderfully with it.
The only button I really miss is the "30 second skip" button...but I think I could hotkey that to something else.

Great. Thanks for the update. I tried looking (not very hard but a good hour) of any comments or remarks about 676 and the Dish DVR.

On a side note, I'm completely 100% happier with DISH than i was with DirectTV.
