V+ and Universal Remote

To start off - sorry if this has already been overly covered. If it has, please feel free to point me to the relevant thread!

I've finally switched from Sky+ HD to V+ - and got a Samsung box!
All is great, apart from the remote! I've had to fish my TV and stereo remote out again (my Sky remote could do the lot for me ).

As I can't find a V+ remote code to control my stereo volume, I'm going to have to fork out for a universal remote. However, if it cost me too much (i.e. more than 30-40), my missus would tell me to do one!!
Any thoughts? I'm after a remote to control
  • TV (Toshba Regza 37X3030D)
  • V+ (Samsung SMT-H3110)
  • Stereo (Old and faithful Sharp XL-HP500 Hi-Fi)
It would be nice to control the PS3, but as it's bluetooth, I'll get by!
The reason I've posted here is because I'm more concerned about losing any functions from the original V+ remotes.
So.. What's your thoughts? Any recommendations?

It will cost you more than £40, but look here:
Is it worth replacing V+ remote?

Re: V+ and Universal Remote

Bit pricey for my liking, but I keep hearing good reviews about the Logitech 525 and it's compatibility with V+. May have to start saving!
