Hey Gamer1827,
While I personally can't provide you with any model-specific home theater system recommendations, there are a couple of common ways that you can generally configure your home theater.
Connecting several devices directly to the HTIB system may typically allow you to minimize the number of remote controls necessary, as long as the HTIB system supports the use of a universal remote. Should you not necessarily care if you have to change back-and-forth between two remotes however, you may have a wider variety of possible configurations available.
In order to use only HDMI cable connections to set up your home theater, you most likely would need an HTIB system with three HDMI ports: one for your TV, one for your PS3 and one for your cable box. Each device would require a separate HDMI cable running between it and the receiver. This option (in theory) would allow you to use one universal remote to control each device, assuming that they are all compatible with the same remote.
Another common configuration you might wish to try requires you to connect your cable box and PS3 directly to your TV. By doing so however, you might limit yourself to using an optical digital audio cable to make the connection between your TV and many HTIB systems. In this configuration, the cable box and PS3 would again have their own separate HDMI cables, while the optical digital audio cable would need to be run from the Digital Audio-Out port on the back of your TV to the Digital Audio-In port on the receiver. This option essentially treats the HTIB system as an expansion device, instead of the center of your home theater configuration.
Should you need any additional information or suggestions, remember that you may always speak with a sales representative at your local Best Buy™ store for further assistance.
Hope this helps you out.
Sincerely,
Aaron

SOURCE: Cant find the code to set my tv for the dish's remote control
usually the remote has a scanning option where you enter certain button commands. some are automatic but some require pushing a button until the device reacts, but i have a tendency to go to fast and pass it up. sure am glad when the instruction manual tells how to go backwards with the scan....lol...... the manual for the dish reciever should explain exactly how to do this as well as some common codes. i found that even if mine is not lsted, someimes the codes for a different type of device by the same or similar manufacturer woll be correct. if you do not have the manual i am sure dish has it on their website. oh...........pretty much any standard after market remote you cam purchase will work, and buy one that has the auto scan....lol............it is so much easier than pushing a button 100 or more times.

I just posted this moments ago:
Well, 'universal' is fundamentally not true anyhow.
If your set is newer than the remote, the remote cannot have the complete code set built in and likely no other will either.
There are no 'standard' code sets and even if your model was listed, it may not control more than power, volume and channel.
If you want a multibrand/multidevice remote, find one you like, go to the manufacturer's website and check the code list for that particular model number to see if it will be of any use to you before buying it.
NONE of the 'universal' remotes have all the codes sets of all the devices past, present and future. It is a lie and a technical impossibility.

While you might find one that can learn to some extent although I have one of those and it won't 'learn' from every other IR remote either.
