I've had to replace the MX900 twice now. Once under warranty and once out of warranty. I had to pay URC about $75 or so (if memory serves).

I love the MX900 and I have it programmed to do all types of stuff with the macro function. But I'm getting tired of volume or enter buttons becoming less responsive after two years or so.

I have the MRF350 so I'd like to get a remote that works with MRF350 as well.

Any ideas? Are the 980 units more reliable than the MX900s? Just looking for some ideas.

Thank you.

Apparently 980's have been having issues for the last several months with their RF output and a slight latency. I don't know if that's been fixed. I have seen columns of buttons fail on that model too.

MX880 doesn't have all of the fancy boolean logic and as many variables as the MX980 will support but it's a bit smarter than a MX900 and the one I've had for 4 years now seems to be working fine. I haven't seen as many problems with that unit in general.

Thanks for that. I prefer the non-rechargeable models (less of a hassle, for me) but I will look at the 880. Hopefully, things like Live Update, Punch-Through and state variables are available. Thanks again!

I like the 880 as well. Programming wise it is almost exactly like the 900 in CCP. It doesn't have true if/then/else logic like the remotes above it in the product line but does have variables and the ability to take one action if they are true and another if they are false.

I only use variables at the moment so that's good. Does it have Punch Through option to tell the remote to use the AVR's volume/mute for all devices?

Thanks again.

Yes.
