I'm currently using a Universal MX-500 remote and it's to the point where I need a replacement. I get the most use out of the 10 (up to 50 on other pages) favorite channel buttons along with the programmable screen.

There don't seem to be any other remotes that have the same or better capability at the present time (other than some other URC remotes).

However, are there any on the horizon that might improve on this feature (or might there be some that I have missed)?

Thanks in advance.

You can set up favorite pages on any Nevo, Pronto (AFIK), RTI, and of course URC remotes. They don't have a FAVS button on the front like the old URCs had, but you can still program them in.

Thanks any, I'm completely in love with the front screen and the ten individual buttons. It isn't that I don't want an MX-500, it's great. But loving gadgets, I'm just looking for something different.

Thanks again

Both the URC MX450 and MX880 have a dedicated hard favorite button.
