Philips is the largest lighting manufacturer in the world AFAIK. It has a nice A/V business based on TV's and to a lesser degree receivers. It deals with consumer products like shavers. It's Remote Control business is way down the list from a revenue standpoint. I have to hand it to the Pronto team for just being able to continue operations in the Philips Corporate environment.
This is exactly what I meant in my post. Philips deals in Lightning, and all other things in that company is offspring from this. They have all the resources to become the no. 1 - as they were when colour televisions evolved, In Europe they had close to 70% of the market, today that must be less than 10% - sad but true.
As been said many times, the Pronto's will still work at current levels, but with no support and further development - it is a dead duck. So lets hope they come to their senses and give access to us again.
