Design, good. Price tag? Bad. And since they know just how much we love our TiVos, they know just how desperate we'll get if we ever lose the remote... and charge accordingly. When my son introduced our factory remote to the toilet, we bought two - $70 plus ridiculous shipping to Hawaii.
Then I read the One For All URC 6131 universal remote did TiVo for about $15. I found it on sale at Circuit City. We've used it ever since. The design is nothing to cheer about, but it works, and I don't have to feel like I have to protect the thing with my life.
