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.
sometimes with the harmony the macros didnt work properly , and i had to get off my arse and turn specific items on myself , kinda defeated the object really .
ive been offered a sl at £100 cheaper than a s70 when its released . to be honest i think id just pay the extra £100 and have the latest more upto date remote . But im truly wondering whether the q50 will suffice .
i like the idea of a touch screen for the majority of commands . Do the programmable buttons on the q50 change as the touch screen changes pages , if so how can you tell what button does what
