We recently got a Samsung TV and I marvel at their remote. There are literally 9 buttons on it, plus a four-way direction pad with a central select button. My first thought, when I saw it, was "How the hell are you supposed to do everything with that?", but it is an absolutely amazing piece of design. Literally, the entire TV is controlled by it. In fact it may have a couple of buttons we don't use. It even controls the DVD player!
