Remotes and Serial Tuning

[talon]

I will be setting up, if the rest of the parts come in, my BTV Server with Beyond Media this week. I've decided to use Serial Tuning (3 D-11's and 1 H20 Directv receivers) because I've got 4 receivers and the USB-UIRT limit is 3 from everything I've read.

What remote does everyone recommend when using Serial Tuning?

Currently I've got a Hauppauge 45 button MCE remote, one FF remote (came with Beyond TV) and one FF mini remote (came with Beyond Media for a small fee). I would really like to control BTV, BM, My Pictures, My Videos, control the TV, VCR, and DVD and be able to switch inputs on the TV. Can one remote do all this?

I've been following this thread and wonder if it still applies:

I will be using the following equipment for Serial Tuning:

The card comes with a cable that has 4 - Serial cables. I bought 4 of the IOGEAR USB to RS-232 adapters with 4 Null Modem Cables (F-F).

I just hope Beyond TV is capable of handling all these receivers with Serial connections.

My cousin uses a Harmony remote to control his equipment and BM/BTV. You might look into those. They're expensive though.
