I need help in choosing a remote for multirooms.
Ex. main room tv,sat,local,dvd,avr,second zone for outside.
2. family room tv,dvd,x-box
3. bed rooms tv,dvd
pc wireless lan.

My ideal remote would have a 3.5 high rez color screen with channel logos for favorites and buttons for channel up and down volume and mute.
PC programable and no need to pay for customization evry time you change equipment.

Looking at:

harmony 1000 ( no channel banners and customizable menu) I think.
Nevo SL (pricy) do I need to pay for progaming?
RTI T3 and T2c (need to pay for programing, what a bummer)
rc9800i (iI have been reading its bugy and no codes for new equipment)
Pronto 7500 (pricy, but expandable) deos it have wifi? and buttons?

If I am missing any other please help. I have already spent 2 months and returned a 890 that would not charge properly and I could not read the small letters.

$600.00

And its pushing the envelop. I was just looking at mx950, but it sounds like very difficult to program.

Nevo is a required to be programmed by a dealer so you probally won't get any support for it. The URC MX 900 is around $449.00 and if you add a MRF 300 it will be around $200.00 or even the MRF250 is $100.00. You only need a MRF unit if you want to have RF. The only problem is that these remotes are not 3.5" Hi-Res Screens. That price for the Nuvo sounds like a good deal. Is it a Referb Unit

No it does not seem to referb. and it states software included. I have been reading some of the nevo threads and its not very reliable.

I really like the RC9800i but the tthreads indicate that it is not very easy to program, and also deos not have code for new equipment.
I also saw the RTI T2c looks great, but again need pro programming and its expensive.

Here is a link for the nevo.

I think that your best bet would be Universal Remote.
