I would like to thank everyone for all the help they've already given me. When I bought my Neo on Friday, I assumed that having some experience programming the old green pronto would help. Man was I wrong. But after checking out a few threads I updated my Neo firmware, and the Neoedit software, and things went a lot smoother. But I still have a couple of problems I was hoping someone could help me with.
First, where can I get NeoHacker and are there any problems I should be aware of? I mean is it hard to use, likely to break my Neo, void my warranty?
Second, can I label the the hard buttons at the bottom of the touch screen myself? Like where Philips has put "mode" and "device"? Maybe with Hacker?
And Finally, when I am programming one button to do a few things at once, is there someway to use something like an "if" statement? Like if I switch to TV mode it automatically turns on the TV, and then I listen to music for a while with the TV on, and then switch back to TV mode what can I do so it won't accidently turn the TV off?
Thanks in advance for any help and I hope my message isn't too long. By the way some of you people have absolutely amazing remote designs, like works of art.

You can download NeoHacker from here. Click on FILES on the top of the page, select ProntoNeo, then click on Programs, Utils & Documentation then go to Utilities.
I really wouldn't think NeoHacker would void your warranty or be able to break your Neo. Check it out. I used to paste in my Lutron Spacer codes with no problem. NeoSynch is useful too.
I'd probably download all 4 utilities.
I don't think you can reprogram the reserved ‘mode & 'device' buttons.
No 'if' statements are supported. If your device doesn't support discrete power on/off buttons then the power button will toggle off & on the device as you mentioned.
Some people use a prompt when programming macros: ‘is the TV on?’ Depending on your input it will do one sequence or another.
