And, they hate multiple Remote Controls possibly even more, at least in my 
house.
The remote control for our Samsung 50" DLP is very versatile and controls 
the rudimentary functions of several of our seven STB type devices but we 
can't seem to get by with less than four remotes. Certain buttons on the 
Samsung RC have multiple functions, depending on which box is under control, 
to my wife's unending frustration! We now have this somewhat under control 
after my writing a two page "how to" instruction set with several revision 
and by numbering the RCs to lessen the confusion.
A true universal remote control is very desirable but clearly is not in the 
cards, therefore these Wiring and RC issues might make a functionally 
integrated TV set very attractive to many customers.
