What is wrong with URC wanting to limit there distribution
and choose to sell their top remotes and provide the software
to CI's. Isn't it a companies or individuals choice to
give or sell their product to who they choose? Or do they
half to sell it to everyone and give their software to
anyone who wants it?
I would agree that URC can limit who they sell to all they want (I still think in the long run, it is probably a bad business decision, but that is clearly debatable). I think the real stink is over an abrupt change in policy leaving consumers owing remotes without an easy way to update their software. I purchased a MX3000 through an authorized dealer, and have programmed it myself. I didn't do it because I can't afford to have a custom install or that I have something against them, but because I love to tinker with tech stuff like this.
