What does "decent" mean here? For example, my tv's remote has a

How often do you need the setup menu?

Whenever I want to turn the closed-captioning on or off, for one
thing. Which I do a lot.

Also there's the It's the Principle of the Thing! factor -- if
something's called a universal remote control then it should damn
well come close to being _universal_ rather than just being a "does
the basic things" remote.
