mrtristan, if a "home automation' company is successful with cable remotes, then they're earning money and they have satisfied customers. We'd like them to have better, but how can we impose "better" on anyone?

Mac, I carry a Pronto too. The Pronto TS-1000, the RTI learner, and the Crestron learner are the three products I've found that have learned every IR code I've ever needed. The Pronto is a clear winner for practicality in that the learner also can emit the code, so I can learn it now but, with the same single piece of equipment, supply the code later, whether as IR or as Pronto Hex.
