Hey, but if one of their products that they sale fails, which it will, they have two for everyone they sale, ready to ship out to you.

How many items have they "saled" to you?

Better question, how much of their crap have you sallied to the landfill??

The question of a cheap, simple, learning remote comes up all the time... and basically, there isn't one. Well, there has been... but apparently they don't sell.

About the simplest actual learning remote you can still kinda get is the Weemote dV:

The discontinued RTI U1 might have been ideal. Or the aforementioned URC Sidekick, if you can find one. It's basically a one-device MX-700 squeezed into a tiny package (even takes the same config file). Well, save for the prices...

Considering all the eager cheap Chinese manufacturers out there, I don't know why SOMEONE can't come out with a simple learning remote just for this purpose, even if it doesn't sell tens of thousands of units.

I'll bet you can get a URC KP900 cheap nowadays. I heard that URC was throwing them out by the box load.

Well the distributors want a mint for the URC MX900. Great sturdy remote, but the price compared the current offerings is a joke.

He said kp900, not mx900

He also said learning remote, not programmable remote... Or is that ok also.

Im also sure Bruce wants a repeatable remote in case its lost.
