I stopped buying universal remotes when the prices of those things rose over $100.
We have the latest Windows Media Center running in Windows 8 and we watch most of our TV (brand LG, model, 37LG30) from there. The remote that works for nearly everything is the Windows Media Center Remote (model VRC 1100) pictured below. Unfortunately, we seem to have to use both sensors also pictured in order to use it completely, but that is not a huge deal.

What is a big deal is the fact that we occasionally want to use our Roku3 which requires us to change the input source with the TV remote, and then use the Roku3 remote to navigate.
1. Is there any way to get the VRC 1100 media center remote to work for changing the input source, and/or controlling the Roku3?
2. Alternatively, is there a good universal option that won't require a huge expense?
Assistance is greatly appreciated.
