I see the point. I solved the multiple remote problem with a Philips
Pronto. For VDR control "page" there is actually control for three
devices at the same time. I had earlier a simpler universal remote but
it wasn't flexible enough.

16-bit digital volume control degrades SNR but it shouldn't be an issue
after a HF modulator. Anyway, the volume control feature is on it's way
and Kai told it won't affect line out users!
