How about this-

8-Way E-Pilot Remote Control £39.99
http://www.maplin.co.uk/products/module.asp?CartID=030316103144549&moduleno=26503&modulecode=

or

One For All Mosaic £59.99
http://www.richersounds.com/index.php?f=itemdetl.php&p=206343
ten quid more than you said, but it was £250 when it first came out

or

Cambridge Audio M700 £59.99
http://www.richersounds.com/index.php?f=itemdetl.php&p=206076

I`m thinking about buying the Mosaic myself

That`s an excellent price for the mosaic - see review here http://www.remotecentral.com/director/index.html

I`m sorely tempted - it will stop my wife saying "why can`t the button just SAY what it does on it". And our VCR remote`s died, so the built in database is very tempting....

Anyone got one? Comments on battery life?

Bought the Mosaic for £60 from RicherSounds.
Programmed it for almost everything and it still has over 90% memory left to play with. Bit of a brick but even the women like it. You do need rechargeable batteries esp when you first start programming it.
It has a backlight too. I was impressed as any missing codes are downloaded from the helpline without a problem.

thx for comments.now the questions!!
when u say u programmed nearly everything what could u not program.?
have u prog`d sky remote totally? do all symbols show on screen? i ask cos i had e-pilot..not enough symbols on screen to emulate sky remote.also could u tell me (or anyone reading this) will the remote work my dansai dvd player which i am told has irda type remote? (don`t know what this means except that no other remote except the original would appear to work it.) have foned richersounds here in glasgow and they have plenty mosaics in stock. what about cambridge audio as an alternative??? anyone.

thx for ur reply

tony

Remember that the Cam audio one with full lcd screen is basically an epilot, IIRC. I`m tempted by this too, so will watch any comments you get very closely!

I`ve got one of those, and it`s pretty good, but there aren`t quite enough buttons - the nav buttons have to double up for play/ff/stop etc, with a button to switch their function. I find that OK, but she who must be obeyed finds it a bit fiddly. I was going to sell mine (for around half that price) and replace with the mosaic.
