Well... ours was a refurbished model, so it was only $100. And we already knew we had to buy a remote that could specifically be programmed to work with the MythTV box (i.e., a homemade TiVo,) which narrowed the field considerably.
And if you're already going to have to buy an expensive remote, might as well make it the most awesome one ever that can control all of your electronics so you never need another one again, right? Right?
Not having to pay for a DVR service means it already paid for itself long ago...
