Sadly I have run into the same problem and have had to retire my otherwise perfectly good iPronto and 2xNetX all of which have operated flawlessly for 5 years. Now all I have is a dead iPronto every morning.

I can accept that Philips have to stop support at some point in time, but to force my device into early retirement through inept programming is just not acceptable.

What have I replaced it with - a Logitech Harmony 1100 - no more Philips for me just at the moment.
