I've used a Logitech Harmony for a few years, and it has worked pretty well. The model I have is not made any more, but they seem to have a similar one available (the Harmony 885)
You set it up via a USB link to a computer. All your settings are stored in an online account, so you don't lose the settings when you change computer. They have a very extensive database of equipment which covered everything I have.
It only had one problem when the screen went completely blank after 13 months (ie just after the warranty expired), but it still worked. Discharging the battery completely and recharging it fixed the screen, but wiped the settings. Reconnecting to a pc and logging into my account, it was completely set up again within 5 minutes.
The only other issue is that it doesn't balance well in my hand, especially when trying to press the numbers at the bottom of the remote. So I still tend to use the Sky+ remote as well.
