Home Theater Master MX-650 or above (i.e. MX-850, MX-900, MX-950, etc.). The MX-650 is the first one in the line up that has RF and IR. With the one remote, you can control anything in your house from just about anywhere in the house. It has hard buttons, 8 of them having a programmable LCD label next to them (I HATE LCD touch screens like the Philips Pronto...they are cool to show off but not practical). It has macro functions, a really good learning system, etc. If you want to program more advanced features with your PC like discrete codes and more advanced macros, you should look at the MX-850 or MX-950.

Last thought...if you are really going for inexpensive, you could get the previous generation MX-600 which comes with a RF base station. You can find them cheap through Price Grabber.
