It'd be funny watching the owners of such a thing waste minutes trying to find the remote to simply switch on the lights and the TV to the proper channel. Well, funny if it wasn't such a stupid idea.
While I am all for using a remote for TV, DVD and satellite, I see no use for such a thing for the lights, or for "remembering" what I watch.
I have a memory, thank you, and I intend to keep it useful by actually using it. And the lights I set when I start watching TV, with a simple flip of the switch on the wall.
This thing is a solution in search of a problem, and it only adds complexity to something that does not need it. Therefor, it is a bad idea.
