one, and most likely it's made by apple or roku, because they appear to be nearly the only companies that can make a remote with fewer than 20 buttons.

I like my LG remote for its simplicity actually. Simply designed, functions sort of like the Wii Remote, and controls my cable box as well. This is the one I have:

+1 ... I kind of like the MCE remotes too, but even then tend not to use half the buttons... my LG and Vizio remotes are horrible by even that comparison... For that matter Chromecast really appeals to me. If only I didn't have to cast the full screen with bsplayer to do media on the local network through it.

Eugh, I bought a Sony CT370H sound bar last week, great speakers but the remote has 36 buttons, including 7 EQ presets. It's bizarre.
