Up, down, left, right & select. I've owned a few remotes and nothing can compare to a hard buttoned remote, with the display (either touchscreen or buttoned to the side) for custom names. Also hard buttons for numericals is recommended, much faster than using touchscreen. I've owned a largish screenscreen in the past, nice idea but needed more hard buttons for generic multi-source (numericals, navigation, play, pause, power etc cover several sources) So why bother with touchscreen buttons for those keys?
Things like the old style Prontos were crap, at least for a HT perspective. I'm currently using URC MX-850, it's great. Can't complain about the bottom half for the buttons I use. But for a SB setup, it could do with graphics/icons support for the screen- rather than text only, and access net browser. But I understand the LCD uses hardly any power, once you add backlight LCD that sucks the power. Plus you want things like macros, shorttcut links, ability to customize exactly how you want it (no damn Harmony wizards) I'm happy with MX-850 for the HT, but wouldn't mind charging dock, and for the 3.5mm jack to replaced with mini USB. URC MX-3000 looks alright but would like more hard buttons -- badbob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ badbob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7358 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58492 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
