Does anyone have experience with the URC Mastercontrol RF20 remote to control their home theater systems?

Are there any other highly recommended RF universal remotes to consider?

I personally like the setup, ease of use, functionality and look of the Harmony 900.

The Xsight Touch (http://www.amazon.com/Acoustic-ARRX18G-18-Device-Universal-Touchscreen/dp/tech-data/B002N1J7DU) is the only universal remote that can operate a DirecTV box in RF mode and is programmed similarly to harmony and much cheaper than the 900.

EDIT: I see OP is a Dish sub, so D* RF is irrelevant. But Xsight is still a good RF remote and a bargain compared to the 900. URC is a fine basic remote. If you want to save some money, just keep your current remote and get a Next Generation RF extender.
