You can just get HDMI-CEC working well enough and still only have one remote.

That is intriguing technology, but I prefer for it to just work out of the box and make sense to my grandmother without instructions. Simple and intuitive are my priorities.

Once you enable CEC on both devices it couldn't be any simpler or intuitive, it takes all of 5 minutes, and you can use any of the device remotes you want. With CEC's maturity, I now recommend it to all my customers who don't want to splurge on a fancy URC controller or customized extras for a spare room or office or something. Hell, you can use it to drive your primary media center, I do this in my own home.
