1) With the full date and time, this should have been there right off the bat!

2) Seems the 12 devices are hard-coded to the buttons. What we need is a "hide" function.

3) Not really needed (you wouldn't want to have to buy a second remote any ways). What we do need, and could be done on the hardware as is, is a setting to turn the backlight on whenever the screen is.

4) You should get used to it... but I agree more "forgiving" contacts should have been used. I do notice the "new" MX-1000 I have seems better in this regard than my "old" one.
