Nothing will be designed 100% perfect for every installation and customer; you need to know how to adapt to each situation. I for one don't mind programming the 950. Sources such as DVD and CD get skip +/- down on the rocker button on both sides and FF/RW up on the LCD unless I have a power user (most are not BTW). Sources such as DVR and TIVO get FF/RW on the rocker.

How often do you really watch a DVD or listen to a CD and use the FF or RW?

And for the record I believe all these complaints are bogus. Aren't you the guy who I offered to buy your MX off of...aka take it off your hands so you can move on to better things :-)
