The Harmony series isn't cheap (but do some legwork, try Slickdeals, e-bay, etc) but it kicks butt. Mine has 4 primary buttons, DVD, TV, Music and Game. Push that and (after you teach it) it'll turn on and configure EVERYTHING as needed. When you click channel up or down, it send that command to the cable box. Volume up down go automatically to the receiver. Then it has 8 other buttons and a small screen that lets you tweak almost anything else on the fly if you need to.

Don't look at the prices,you can find them for about half what's listed there.
