*lol* I remember when I imported my Pronto file as well Phil! I was amazed! Vast expanses of emptiness, where before I was squeezing in teeny tiny buttons just to get everything I needed on one screen. It's also worth mentioning the vast amount of memory there is to play with. I had to abandon my plans for TV channel pages on my old one because my system just took up too much memory. Not so now though! I have all the direct channel access I could possibly want now.

I do agree that the wake up could be faster. And I have noticed another thing too. When it wakes up, the first button you press takes ages before it seems to send the IR code. But really, after a few weeks of living with a stable iPronto (thanks Phil!) I have to say I would not want to do without it. And the NetX has made my cinema look even tidier now. I didn't buy it for the future upgrades, I bought it based on what I expected it to do. And now they have "fixed" the hard buttons issue, it pretty much does.

I actually wish they hadn't tried to make it so future proof in a way, because I think it could have cost less without a fancy unused sound system, SD slot, USB socket etc. And yes, a cradle would have been much more elegant than what they came up with. But it's a great system. Show me anything out there for the money that competes and I'll eat my words.
