Hi all, looking for a new remote... See if you can point me in the right direction... I used to run a URC MX-850, which I loved. That one broke after several years of use.
I have since switched to a Harmony 900, which I like but it has issues... I've gone through three of these in the past 5 months each with different issues... And with the frequent freezes and reboots of this remote the WAF (wife acceptance factor) has gone out the window...
Here are my requirements... *) All "typical" hard buttons. I would really like to have the 4 colored hard buttons as well. *) An LCD at the top with hard buttons associated preferable, touch screen less preferable but acceptable. *) Able to control 10 devices minimum. *) IR and RF compatible. *) Rechargeable preferable, battery operated acceptable (since I will put in rechargeable batteries). *) Computer programmable / USB compliant. *) Would like to get away from the Harmony's Activity Based programming and go back to a macro type programming style I grew quite fond of with the MX850. *) $500 range +/-... Willing to go higher if needed but would like to be in the $500 range initially.
