Question 2 Home Cinema questions - 'learning remotes' & Svideo router recommendation?

hi

After some input from anyone whos got a decent (better than those available at the high Comets etc) learning remote. I seem to have around 9 remote controls lying around the living room at the moment!

Also, can anyone recommend a decent Svideo switch (4 into 1)

ta

i got a learning remote with my sony 940 DTS receiver. does quite well at the basic functions for most of my equipment, and i have alot of stuff. as for switching an amp is reaaly the only cost effective sensible way to do it. see http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...homecinema.jpg
if you want a dedicated learning remote then have a look at this

Philips Pronto. Takes some setting up with a PC, but when it's all done, it's the daddy.

The Joytech JS965 gets good reveiws, although I sent mine back to Play as the LED's failed within six months.

I was really liking that Pronto until I saw the iPronto. Then I saw the price of them both
