Come on... cut the guy a break. He paid good money for the remote and he has the capability to program it, but isnt able to get the latest programming software. He's not the only one caught up in URC's absurd software policy. Certainly URC has the right to sell and distribute what they want and to whom, but customers have the right to complain and let them know how they feel, no ?
"Pro software for remotes ??" Its just a remote control, not a super computer.
The 980 isnt so complicated or elitist that it needs a "professional" to program it.... the whole concept is ridiculous.
