I'm kind of surprised that Mike and Dave won't further their product to include the new remotes. This would open up a whole new customer base for them.

But I'm also not about to deny that changing the software might be a huge undertaking not worth the time of "hobbyists" like Mike and Dave. I don't know if the IR signals are even compatable with the existing IR-clone.

Perhaps Mike and Dave should sell this concept to HTM for them to market as an add-on.

I'm thankful that they did what they did and I know I'll be using my MX-500 for many more years than I might have because of it. Thanks guys!
