I have an 850 that I bought a few years ago. I think I bought it from a sponsor of this site but I dont remember the name. I got the mx software from whoever I bought it from. I am getting a new TV and receiver so I need to do some progamming. I did an update of the mx software last night and my TV (panasonic vt-50) is not listed. My question is do I need some kind of new software to program the remote for this TV? I am not against getting a new 850 or something a little more updated but I want the software to program the remote. If the software has changed is it still as easy to use as mx editor was? I dont need to do anything complciated would just like to have a couple of macros to turn on the receiver, select the input for cable box or dvd and turn on the dvd or cabler box and of course turn everything off.

Sorry if there are some stupid questions above but just looking for some help/clarification. Any help is much appreciated.

As they say, there are no stupid questions. There are not always every model in the IRDB. You can try the latest codeset listed at the bottom of the list for Panasonic. It will have a number (not model number). I believe Panasonic 13 is a codeset that will have discrete power and input commands as well. That codeset will not have menu, exit, directions buttons...

Panasonic codes have not changed much, so you could also use another model number. I have programmed the VT-50 series with no issues (really haven't had issues on any Panasonic of the last 5-7 years). You should be good to go.

As stated above you shouldn't have any issues with programming the Panasonic. If you want full commands you might have to try a few different Panansonic models but one of them will work fine for you. When selecting a model, look for the Viera cast function and it should work fine.

Thanks for the responses. Sounds like am good to go.
