Any new news, rumours, guesses or completely unsubstantiated "information"??? ;-)

I think:

1. IR Code for linking
2. RS-232 Code
3. View IR Code
4. Delay
5. .WAV sound
6. Jump
7. Repeat or return (Maybe back)
8. Maybe the detail of the macro, since the screen shot is not showing the detail of flat screen macro steps.
9. Simulator

You guys are guessing. If Philips did a decent job choosing the icons in the first place, there would be no need to guess. Icons are supposed to be shorthand, not shortsighted. Are you reading this Pronto Team? There is still time to choose icons whose functions are obvious.

I would really want to see wifi. NevoSL is nice too but expensive. Keep your fingers crossed.

By "Nice" you mean a "NICE WAY TO REALLY SCREW UP INSTALLS?" :)

Why? What do you think are WiFi's advantages? I have Wifi on my iPronto. Although I can use it to get an Internet connection, I haven't found that to be useful in a remote control device, even with the iPronto's "big" screen. Using the Wifi link to upload/download is slower than a USB connection so no advantage there. The online TV Guide application is worthless if you have a cable or satellite receiver. It works, but is slower than molasses.

I think the biggest issue is that we don't know the capabilities, I am sure if we did he answer would be more evident


PS the reason we are guessing at the icons is to guess the capabilities

Dear Pronto community,

Gathering from the above thread, we would indeed like to take the opportunity to get your feedback on the icons representing the action list functions. Therefore, please find herewith the functions that go with the current icons:



Any suggestions on graphical design improvements are more than welcome!
Just send them to [email protected]!

Many thanks,

The ProntoTeam

"Add Power Sense"? This is totally new, I guess similar to what RTI offers.

Possibly a power variable? If so, would the action have the capability of sensing the state of the component, on/off? Maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself? :-)

I would like to select an MP3 album, that lives on my NSLU2 running Twonkyvision mediaserver from my remote, and hit play. It then should play the album om my amplifier via my Streamium SL300i device. I do not want to switch on my TV in order to browse the MP3 albums.

Is this too much oo ask for.

what is add relay?

on the other hand my guesses where

1=IR
2=RS-232
3=?
4=delay
5=beep/wav
6=jump
7=link
8=?
9=?
10=special action


I think for the most part they are good like I said before it is hard to guess when you don't know the choices


maybe the power could be different I would go with either
I/O? or th power icon the with a ?
