I bought two NevoSLs and the wifi component in
July. I was able to quickly ramp on the editing
software. The UI is very cool and I would rate
it as better than prontoedit. I was also very
impressed w/ the IR db (found discrete codes for
some devices that I couldn't find elsewhere, though
I wasn't about to add/modify discrete codes directly.
This appears to be resolved in recent firmware.)
On the con side, I spent endless hours dealing
with the flakey wireless connectivity, poor signal
strength and very limited battery life. Unfortunately,
when I contacted UEI in August I suspect they
were just getting to root cause on some of the
issues. The device has awesome capabilities in
a great form-factor, but when wireless is not
working you can't do the basics, like power on
a device or change a channel. I was also able
to get it to work w/ my dsm-320, when wireless
was working and was very impressed w/ the UPNP
capability. I didn't get enough wifi realiability
to test UPN media performance, but it appeared
to be acceptable.

I am very interested in hearing about specific
wifi and battery life experiences with the recent
firmware update. Please chime in. Based on my
remote experiences and research, I don't see anything
that measures up to NevoSL. The Harmony 890 is
a potential contender when it releases.

Sincerely,

Impressed, but gun shy.
