I don't agree with that. The higher-end remotes let you program a lot of macros. For example in my theater, when I press the "play" button on the remote, it plays the movie and also shuts off the lights. When I press "pause," it pauses the movie and brings the lights up a little. When I Press "stop" it stops the movie and brings the lights up full. That sort of thing can't be done with a $30 remote as far as I know.

And besides, with a bit of work, no one needs to spend more than $30 to have a universal IR remote. See http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/index.php
