I am looking into a learning remote to replace the growing number I must use on a daily basis. Since I am something of a techno-geek and like gadgets of all types I am somewhat drawn to the newer LCD remotes. What I'd like to know is why you chose the MX-1000 over the other remotes. I like the fact that it has more hard buttons and the joystick (I have a tivo and dss) but the pronto seems to have much more support. I realize this is at least partially because it has been around awhile, but do you think the MX-1000 will grow to the same support level?
Basically, I want a remote that will be able to grow as my system does. Right now it will have many things to control, but I want it to be able to expand as technology does.
Thanks Vanessa

IMHO, it will. Just give it some time to work the kinks out.

I chose it because it's a flexible, programmable remote with a joystick + hard VCR buttons, making it perfect for Tivo and audio.
It's cool.

Why Oh Why didn't they include hard buttons on the MX-1000 for Menu, Guide, Info, Exit, like on the SL-9000 or the upcoming MX-500? Cable, Satelite, DVD, CD, VCR... they all use some combination of these buttons regularly, so why force them to LCD? I channel surf my digital cable all the time, and use Guide, Menu, Info and Exit A LOT. Hard buttons would be the way to go for me.
I'm holding out for Daniel's review of the MX-500 before I decide on which to get. The joystick does look cool, but at least the MX-500 has seperate cursor and transport controls.
The Pronto is extremely powerful; I just prefer a better balance of hard/soft buttons.
imho, Scott

Scott,
Four more hard buttons would have been great, but so far I'm getting by just fine using standard locations on every screen for the same buttons. I have a lot of work to do, but I will have a nice configuration some day.
I can't imagine NOT having the joystick & play/stop/etc/ buttons - don't settle for less than those.
Ron
