So far so good. I haven't given it a real good work out though either. I will have to do some more testing before I can make any real determination if they got it fixed for good this time.

Mitch57,thank You for advice.I called URC,they will let me download new s/w as soon as bugs are fixed.It will be a non live update version,but better than nothing.
Regards,cfive-1.

Same here.

I'm getting excellent results with the update. The occasional miss, but I attribute that to not pressing the button squarely.

I'm still not used to the flat buttons, and push Exit for Info, and Prev Channel and Mute I have to think about before I press them, but this is no doubt do to many years using the MX-800 layout.

Even though I think the buttons are positioned well on the 900, I think differentiation in size and feel would be helpful. That being said, I'm sure I'll enjoy it much more in a few months once I've used it daily.

So, I haven't tried any RF, but I doubt that will be a problem.

I think that I haven't had a misfire, other than an improper button push, since the latest update.

FYI !!!

Further update.

I am getting excellent results. It is only when I push a button at a slight angle that I don't get a result. That has to do with button design, in my opinion, not to do with the firmware. And that is maybe 1 in 100 presses. I am starting to enjoy using the remote.

This is encouraging news! It sounds like they may have finally got this problem licked. Before URC messed it up, I considered the 900 to be the best remote I've ever used. Being a 700/850 owner, it took a while to get used to the new button layout, but now it's second nature.

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.

That is good news!

I sold my 600 and 700 but currently have a 950 and two 850's, one of the 850's will be replaced with the 900 (it should be here any day).

I'm glad to hear that it is working well.

I've installed a few 900's and haven't had any calls from the clients.
Could be because they thought they didn't push the button properly:-)

I will update their remotes for free if the revised update fixes the problem (that I have not encountered).

Haven't had any failures in two days now (other than human error ;-) ). I think we're there now.

I have no errors other than a lop-sided button push which doesn't register, which is just part of the mechanical make-up of the remote. Whenever I press the button correctly, the remote works properly.

So, I'm considering it to be "fixed", and am using it daily now and getting more and more used to the button layout, and therefore I'm confident that even my errant button presses will decrease proportionately.

Whew! I was worried that they wouldn't be able to get this one fixed!

The Moto boxes are notorious for their slow response to remote commands, particularly when they are busy recording something. You will think that your command has been ignored, so you keep pressing the button. Ten seconds later, the entire string of commands will be triggered all at once. It's really annoying.

Glad to hear the new software is giving good results.
Now if they would only release it through live update so the rest of us can enjoy it.

I kind of expected that might be what the problem is.

On another note... Maybe they could add variables to the next live update while they're at it! Anyone have any idea when that's coming down the pike?

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.
