My $.02 as to Universal Remotes.... My Harmony 768 has performed flawlessly for my for more than a year now and controls EVERYTHING I own... even my appliances, downloads TV listings, controls the SB, LCD-TV, VCR, DVD player, Windows Media Cntr Edition, lights, air conditioner, fireplace, thermostat, stereo and all linked to activities, so if I wanted to create an activity lets say.... 'Play Reggae music with visualizations'... the remote would cycle through the LCD-TV's inputs, select INPUT PC, select DIGITAL2 on the HomeTheater, navigate to MyMusic inside Windows Media Center, select the correct playlist, hit PLAY and then cycle down to the VISUALIZATIONS button and select that to turn on the psychadelic Vizs in MCE, all with a single press of a button... kinda cool and it works with no issues, unless you point the remote away from the devices. Harmony has all codes and any it doesnt it learns and then uploads to its online database
Again I have the 768.. a bit pricier, a little smaller and alot more functionality than the more popular 688 model, but definately worth it in the long run, for me anyhow. -- Dondi --- Nic Wardle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > I know its not actually to do with Squeezebox, but > do any users have experience of the Pronto NG > universal remote by philips?
