+1 for the Harmony Remote.
I highly recommend this option. One button press and your entire system will turn on and configure itself properly to 'Watch TV'. Very high WAF. My wife says the Harmony remote was one of the best purchases I've ever made for our home theater. It's made my life quite a bit easier.

A simple solution could be to go to a universal remote. That's what solved the problem in our house. Wife loves the new do everything remote. Do a search and check some of the other threads about remotes. I like the Logitech Harmony 880 but others have their preferences as well.
