Thanks. To be honest I didn't even notice it didn't have a keypad. How do you change channels from (for example) channel 25 (ABC) to 206 (ESPN) - need to use favorites?

Also for the smart hub placement, my Universal remote has small connectors that attach to a hidden receiver (that receives RF signal) at one end and sticks to the devices controlled at the other to send signal via IR. Are you saying you need to keep the hub somewhere in line of sight with the devices (receiver, DVR and DVD), because that may not work for me. Does the hub need a power source? Thanks.
