Good thread, excellent forum.

I was previously using an Angel/Cambridge and must admit hated touchscreen and the pre-defined icon/button structure on it. It was a useless expensive paperweight

So got myself a Pronto, customised it within 2 solid days of getting it and with my own Bmp's. Yes even my mother can use it now, no word of a lie ! Personalised icons are just so much easier to recognise. This is a big big plus for me as when you have a lot of kit with hard button remotes you tend to forget what you actually programmed them to do etc etc.

As with everything it's down to taste but this totally controls my home cinema now...within a space of a month !

Sure have to agree it could be designed for one handed operation but then I guess you would have screens and screens to scroll through to get to your particular functionality.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

It's not a straight out the box solution for many, and Philips definitely has to work on the support for those users expecting that.

However I think you have to seriously realise why you buy this thing in the first place. I don't see this thing as a "remote", for me it's beyond that as that's too one dimensional a definition. For me it's a control centre.
