One remote to rule them all!

We have about a 10 year old Zenith LCD TV in the bedroom, hooked up to a Tivo Premiere, I believe. It's HD and has two tuners...



Anyway, I have an old "One for All" universal remote that I like (http://ift.tt/1yWfwMC ), simply because it allows me to use one remote for the TV and the Tivo, and actually has Tivo-esque buttons, thumbs up, thumbs down, etc.



And it was all good.



But... and you knew that was coming...



We've recently begun using the Roku in the bedroom more and more, to watch HBO Go on. And this is where my "One Remote To Rule Them All!" falls apart.



The One For All Remote is... iffy to program, at best. It's not that it's acting weirdly, it's that the Zenith TV codes don't program all the buttons, so it's hit and miss. I have a lot of them programmed on it now, though.



The one command I couldn't find/map on the One for all remote was to swap inputs on the TV, to swap back and forth between the Tivo and the Roku.



So I programmed the Tivo Remote. And this controls the TV, the input setting... but there's no button on it that will turn on the sleep timer on the TV.



I am now forced to swap two remotes in and out to change inputs/set the sleep timer on the TV.



Is there any one remote out there that anyone recommends that can do everything (swap inputs, sleep timer, thumbs up/down, etc)?



Thanks!
