While I'm not new to universal remotes, I am relatively new to discrete ir codes. That being said, now that it appears that the MX1000 software will only be for "backup" and "restore", is it safe to assume that adding discrete ir codes will not be an option on this remote?

If discrete ir codes are an available option (or might be with future software upgrades) can the codes listed in the vast Pronto area of this website be used on this or any other pc-programmable remote? Or must discrete ir codes be developed specifically for each different brand of remote?
