It was a source of tension. Despite all my efforts to remember to always put things back to regular TV, one night I went to a movie alone having left it all in a very unusual configuration and she was stressed about something and just wanted to watch some CSI to relax and the frustration was enough that there was actual hurling of things in the living room (and Lani's not a thrower).
That weekend we happened to be at Fry's and happened to see one so I went along with it but it turns out I love it too. A friend has a really complex set-up (it includes laptops, both TiVo and Comcast DVR, game systems, etc.) and he's programmed that thing to do some pretty cool things.
But for basic setup the programming is pretty easy too. But you'll make Chris do that and he'll just tell you which button to push and how to walk through the help function if pushing that button doesn't work (it still gets out of synch sometimes but the help leads you through step by step asking "is this on," "is this working" etc. until everything is right again).
But still, I try not to think about having paid for a remote 35% of what I paid for the TV.
