Hey neil, just checking the thread and re-read your post. A couple things jumped out at me this time. First, you say you didn't like the Harmony 885. If you can pinpoint what you didn't like about it and what you would change about it to make it your "perfect" remote, that exercise can really help you narrow the field as you shop for a new remote. Focus on those that best match your "THINGS I DON'T LIKE" and "THINGS I WISH I HAD" lists.

Further, you say you use a Mac. At this time NevoStudioPro is not officially supported on anything but Windows PCs. Search this forum (and the AVS forum linked above) for discussion of the workarounds people use and see whether it's something you even want to bother with. If you're going to do your own programming, it's very important to choose a remote whose programming software is compatibe with your computer.
