There are many solutions to controlling multiple devices; however, the
Harmony remote is a very elegant solution as it has many programmable and
"soft" buttons that you can label to your heart's content (for custom Myth
functions/jump points).  The beauty of the volume control is that you can
program the harmony to tell which device the volume buttons will operate and
this can change as you switch devices (TV vs Myth vs DVD vs STB etc.).

But, to each his own.  I just threw it out there because I only found out
about the Harmony when some other posters mentioned it.  The other members
of my family enjoy not having to find/fumble with multiple remotes to
control volume and function.
