I have to say once I got familiar with the new layout I absolutely love this remote. Works fine handheld or sitting on the couch. And the IR dispersion as mentioned by Dennis is phenomenal, something that bugged me on the 990. I removed the battery from the 990 to preserve it as best possible.
One thing I miss is anytime I download a new design I have to manually redo the date and time, unlike the 990 which would sync it automatically after the download. Also there's no time option with seconds.
I think I'll be tweaking the design for a long time it's so much fun :-)
If you go into the remotes settings and turn on the wifi, it will set the date and time automatically. I haven't seen a noticeable hit on the battery life after turning it on, though I am sure there is one.
My WI-FI is on but originally not connected. I tried by connecting to free-trial Spectrum, but even though the WI-FI indicator shows full strength it still doesn't update automatically. How long does it take to update for you? Are you actually connected to a server you use?
