MX-810 again...
The fact that the MX-810 can run indefinitely because
the power supply cord plugs directly into the remote is
a HUGE BONUS because it will make our non-stop TV-watching
addicts very happy. If plugged in, their remote will never
"die".
The fantastic color display puts this remote at the very
top of the "easy to see" list.

The remote is very light weight which is another huge
plus.
The hard button "soft click" feedback is classy and not
at all annoying.
The audible beeps are very clean sounding... not your
typical, horrible, cheep screech.
Adjustable beep volume = excellent.
Adjustable color screen brightness = excellent
Tilt switch on/off button = excellent

URC managers have been telling us in these forums that
the upcoming MX-980 is "The Remote" that will satisfy
the highly skilled programmers among us. Perhaps it will,
in terms of software, but I personally feel, as a past
Human Factors Engineer for Northrop Grumman, that the
physical design of the MX-810 is FAR SUPERIOR to the upcoming
MX-980 design.

In fact, I love the physical design of the MX-810 so much
that I am going to keep it, even though I cannot get it
to work anything. I just love looking at it, holding it
in my hand and dreaming about how great life would be
if I could one day program it successfully.

URC, we love you. My advice is to scrap the outdated looking,
poorly laid out MX-980 and put it's software into the
magnificent MX-810. If you do, you won't be able to supply
the World with enough of them. I Guarantee it.
