Well, I drool alot anyhow and I'm wearing Depends, so I can't tell if I'm excited.
rook - you are a madman! No such thing as half wet here. I salute your wife - doesn't look like you will need to sell her.
Now - down to business. As the guys have mentioned, you will need to consider a universal remote. Do a quick search here on "MX-700". Coupl of major threads over the last 4 months or so. Kililler remote, perfect for what you have there.
Me, Ajax, tomtuttle, curtis, MarkSJohnson (and a herd of otheres) have this thing and would be happy to help you with it.
Pictures are required.
