I am also having very good results so far. However, every
now and then a button press does fail but I have, so far,
been unable to determine if it's the remote or the cable
box. Everytime it fails I'm not looking at the remote
but at the TV. Then I start watching the remote very
closely but, of course, it doesn't fail when I'm watching
the remote. It knows I'm watching it and doesn't want
to get in trouble so it behaves when I'm paying attention
to it ;=).
I will attempt to "catch it in the act" over the next
couple of days so I can pinpoint if it's the remote or
the cable box. I'm not using RF so I know that's not
the problem.
I doubt that the cable box is missing commands. I used the Comcast cable remote for a couple of years and never had that problem, although I have experienced it being non-responsive and then suddenly responding to all my commands at once.
However, the Comcast cable remote has significantly more IR power than the MX-900, so its possible that you are just not aiming the MX-900 well enough.
