Since there is no longer a light sensor, it would be a great feature if you could tell the remote to use the backlight between certain hours. I don't think this could be done with a timer. I find myself turning off the backlight during the day to save batteries, but then turning it back on at night. I know I can just press the backlight button, but I am lazy!

It seems like a failly easy request for the programmers at Philips. Everything is already there to do it.

Any ideas / comments?

I think this is a great idea, and I don't see why it should be a problem at all as far as programming goes. Or even just a button that you can press (like the Backlight button) that will keep it on constantly. This would probably be best when used with a charger though. But still a great idea for us Pronto owners who missed out on the light sensor.

So how do we make this suggestion to right person at Philips?

While we're on the topic of "time-of-day" wishes, it'd probably be a nice idea to have the option to return to a certain screen at a certain time of day. For instance, reset to the home page at 4 AM if the remote has not been recently used.

I really don't see how this is useful. Needing the back light is dependent on ambient light. The ambient light in a room can vary based on shade up/down, sunny/cloudy, room lights on/off/dim. For the few people and few cases where it would actually be useful all the time, I'd rather see Philips use the program space for a more useful feature like "return to previous screen", etc. Just my opinion.
