For anyone who is interested I have done some research on prices and availibility of the MX-1000 remote. It seems that very few companies actually have it available, with most of them saying it is on backorder for 2-3 weeks. I have found the remote for sale from $229 to $279. If your interested in the companies I have contacted send me an e-mail and I'll fill you in. I am not selling anything, but I wasn't sure if this forum is the right place to list competing vendors. I have ordered mine and I am really looking forward to giving it a try.

If you want the remote NOW, just order it directly from Universal Remote Control, Inc at (800) 901-0800
I ordered mine on Wednesday the 18th and had it delivered overnight on the 19th. So far, a great remote!

I didn't check that route..........very often manufacturers won't sell to the general public. At least you shouldn't run into stock problems from the source!! May I ask how much you paid for it Roman?

Cam, if Daniel doesn't object, I think it would be very helpful for you to post your research in the forum. Users sharing and discussing information, especially value and quality of the various vendors, is a major reason this forum exists.

Can't see anything wrong with that... the Pronto forum has seen a lot of similar "best price" threads.

Hmm, quite a few of those sites haven't been updated in a while. Some say "delayed until July"... others show the list price as $440 (what's up with that?)

Just search on Yahoo shopping and you will find a number of places selling the MX-1000 in this price range, including Netmarket.

Until they actually have stock the price means nothing. For instance, Netmarket has gone up to $217.

the best price, just bought one yesterday 10-24-00 was on netmarket.com for $206 plus $6 shipping/handling, for a total of $213. You must sign up as a member to get this price, a special for 3 months for $1. I bought a few other x-mas gifts at great prices. I might cancel my membership in 2.89 months!!!!

Unfortunately NetMarket.com doesn't allow those of us who live in Canada to become members. So us Canadians need to keep looking for the best price!
