I think that some newer tvs allow you to use their remotes for digital cable; is there a feature that allows this option? Any reasonably priced brands out there? Remember, I'm not looking for something that is top of the line, just a basic flat screen system.

Sorry to hijack, but just a warning on plasmas for any of you that live in higher elevations, particularly the intermountain west. At elevation, the compressed gases in most plasma televisions (xenon & neon?) will emit a constant, annoying humming sound. Of course, this is something you generally don't notice until you get the sucker home. Two of my friends here in Denver purchased plasma TVs last year, and both returned them within a week due to this problem. Supposedly the manufacturers are working on correcting the issue, but I would be wary in the meantime.
