Can you gentlemen provide a little more feedback on the
actual usability of the remote itself? I'm still trying
to decide between this and the MX-900. I really like
the color screen and early reports of firm buttons (as
opposed to the reported squishy buttons on the 900, I
HATE squishy buttons), but would like more comparative
input if you can spare the time.
Thanks.
The remote is much nicer in many regards when compared to the 900, however the 900 is a much more robust/customizable solution without as much fighting with the software programming. If you really want to fight with, and take the time to get the 810 working properly you should be able to do just about everything the 900 can do. However if you need a remote right now, and don't have the 5-10 hours of time (and a fairly in depth knowledge of programming URC remotes specificlly the MX650) to play (fight with the wizard), and a direct person at URC to work through bugs with then stay away at least until URC adds some of the above fixes to the software suite.
