    Fscking awesome remote. Get it around 100 bucks US at BlueDo and then even double the warranty. My kid broke a button on mine (smashed remote on tile floor repeatedly) and HTM fixed it w/o question. Hard button remotes smoke the touch screens simply b/c you don't need to look at the thing to use it. A huge plus.

    I _love_ this remote. You won't be disappointed.

    Might I also suggest you check out Remote Central? Very good reviews and user forums...

    Get one of these Comes with a cable to program it from a windows box (sw works great in wine) you can have shifted keys, macros on any button, and custom keymaps.

  3. Pronto Neo by Black+Perl · · Score: 3, Informative · on Philips iPronto Does It with Linux

    I went shopping for remote controls and checked all the models out at the local Home Theater store. Let me tell you, a remote should be easy to use and functional. This is not it. Anything more than a Hometheatre Master MX-500 is a waste.

    Ironically, Philips makes a $149 programmable touchscreen remote (with a decent number of programmable hard buttons like the HomeTheatreMasters)--the Pronto Neo.

    Some links:

    Customized screen examples

    Amazon $169/free shipping

    BlueDo.com $149 (where I bought mine)

    I really like it.

    People who don't understand why someone might need something more sophisticated often insult or damn with faint praise. How sad.

    Sometimes you need something more sophisticated than a pre-programmed remote and you just aren't going to get there without getting a learning unit.

    By the way I use an MX-500 from bluedo
    after using various small-scale universals and the neo-tech palm software (with the IR dongle). Some people like touch-screen remotes but many of us find them nearly unusable.

    I heard this works well. It emulates Bose RF controls to be used with the IR remote of your choice.

  6. BlueDo by tmark · · Score: 1 · on WSJ Reviews High End Universal Remotes

    BlueDo sells a whole gamut of high-end remotes, including the Pronto and Harmony lines. Better yet, they also carry packages that include the JP1 cable, including a package with the highly rated Home Theater Master MX500 lCD remote, a good learning remote to program it, and a JP1 cable.

    I'm still saving for this bundle which is one of the highest rated remotes on hifi-remotes.com.

    I am not connected in any way with BlueDo, just been impressed by good store reviews and the great customer service I've experienced when I've made various inquiries.
