Yes.

I got ours at Circuit City as an open box with full warranty. Saved hundreds.

If you're interested in a new remote, I got this one at Best Buy. It's pretty new and we had to drive 30 minutes to get one. Super easy to set up. You install the software on your computer, go to the website, enter the make and models of your equipment, answer a series of yes/no questions and let it do it's thing.

If you have a problem when using it, like my cable box didn't come on, you tap the "help" button and it asks you a series of yes/no questions until it fixes the problem. Took about 10 seconds and no trouble since.

We were quoted $1200 for a remote that does the samething. I b!tched about it and they told me $300 for programming!!! Took me about 30 minutes. I'm still pissed about it!! Anyway, it's about $449.
