I had seen a cool remote way outside my pricerange a while back. it was
basically a tablet with all the different stuff, wifi, bluetooth, RF, IR.
you used a pc based app to design your button layout then took all your

configure it and could program in specific commands. I thought that would
be cool but it was like 1500 bucks
