So without adding new buttons (which would change their tooling), what buttons could be changed? I agree on the USB as that may be a slight modification, but adding new buttons could be a deal breaker.
I am not suggesting they change any existing buttons. I am suggesting they add those listed above to the current set of buttons. A retooling is neccesary and why i dont sell the MX-850 anymore even though IMO its at least #2 and probably #1 all time best remotes... ever.
The 7 buttons i listed above are pretty universal. Just about everything has 4 color buttons on it now and the replay/liveTV can be track up track down. IMO record should also be included in a standard set of 8 transports but if they want to leave that one off its not a deal breaker.
I don't care that its not 2way and i like that it has no docking station or power cord because the clients can maintain the batteries themselves and no one is stuck without their remote while i ship them a $100+ battery when it fails in a few months.
