Thanks once again akirby - I think Ill post the question about screen shots of teh 1000's screen on the main forumn, I'd like to see what you can & can't do with teh Harmony screen - it might be sufficient for me, on the other hand the touch scren might be a total waste of time & money for me if I am so limited on the button customisation that I might as well get a hard button Harmony.......in which case, I think you are right, one of teh entry level Harmonies will probably be sufficient for me.

I'll get there in the end!.....or die trying!! Many thanks again for your responses.
