Oh, is THAT the answer to my consideration of a timed macro remote? Don't purchase a Producer 8, and ditch all my VCr's for a ReplayTV or TiVo box? Okay, well let's take an objective look at that option...
Would it cost MORE than an old Producer remote? If yes, that's strike one against it. Can I record my favorite shows to removable media, and build an (unlimited) collection of programming, that I can view again at any time? If no, that would be strike two on the idea. Can I lend this removable media to my friends so they can watch what I recorded? If no, then that would make it strike three. Can I set it to program at least 23 shows unattended (which I could do now if I had a remote that can do 15 timed recordings)?
If not, strike four. If there are three strikes, then its out!

Of course, it does look like I would STILL need a new remote, because my C7 doesn't support the ReplayTV and TiVo codes, and I've just about no more learning memory to spare! That would be yet another strike...
I'm afraid its not looking good for the coffers of Replay and TIVO!
