Yes, Radio Shack and Memorex used to have one that did 48 key macros. You can set it on a table, point it at the TV, and it turns things on an off and selects channels by time and day of the week. It has a LCD display, but it's a big ugly thing that eats four AA batteries every couple months. I have a RS modle 15-1901 but I never learned how to program it. I was too busy changing batteries. I imagine you might find it on ebay, or something similar.

Bill,
Thanks for the tip. I did find one on eBay and bought it. Just $23 bucks. Upon receipt I found that some buttons did not work. Had to tear it apart and clean the contact pads and circuit board to get the buttons to work properly. Had some crud on the button pads that would not allow a button selection. After that re-assembled and it respond like new.
Yes, it is really clunky to program. But, I worked my way through the manual. After all that it does do what I wanted.
Again thanks!!
