The problem is compounded on the 7000 because
of the motion sensor that (sometimes) wakes up
the screen when you pick up the remote. If you're
trying to pause a playback, the screen may or
may not already be on by the time you hit the
hard button, depending on how much you moved the
remote and how quickly you reach the button. Half
the time, i remember to hit the button twice,
only to end up sending the signal twice because
the remote woke up by itself.

I would love to also be able to turn off the motion
sensor. I really don't want the screen to turn
on unless I touch it. The 2000 handled that perfectly.

Unfortunately, I'd be surprised if they fixed
all that in the next upgrade.
