Hi,

My old MX810 stopped responding to commands-it lights up just fine and I can reload the programs (it appears to communicate with the PC just fine) but pressing any button does not do anything. I even took it apart and cleaned all the inside from debris and such- no luck.
I tried the re-set button with the remote plugged-in - still no luck.

If I can't get it to work, what can I get without braking my bank account?

I need the remote to control TV, AV receiver and the cable box; I have a DVD player but hardly use it (if at all).
I do like the ability of MX810 to switch between different audio modes on the receiver, and to control screen brightness of the TV.
I'd rather get a PC programmed remote.

Thanks for your help

The entry level PC programmable URC remote is the MX780.

The MX810 uses a wizard based programming software, so it will be a bit of a learning curve to program the 780.

Unlike the 810, the 780 doesn't have rechargeable batteries, so you may want to step up into the MX890.

You will have to find a dealer who is willing to provide the CCP software to you though.

Since you have the programming for it, there is no shortage of "like-new" used units for sale. They all warn things like "no software" and "no Power supply" but you have those. Just look up MX-810 on Amazon, and you'll see them for around $90- $100. Just buy one of these and download your program to it.

I use a MX-850 for the more complex system that I have at work. At home I have a much simpler system like yours and find that the Harmony 650 does everything I need and everything you're asking for. You can buy it at Amazon for $60. I think it's a better remote than the MX-810, is easier to program, and in place of the URC software hassle you get free phone support.
