RE: Intelligent remote control

I know you don't want t  hear this, but I have to say
"Pronto/Marantz".

The cheapest I've seen the Pronto is =A3140+vat (letsautomate, 1Mb version
without docking station.)

Seriously, the cheaper ones are going t  prove frustating and doing it with
a Palm is going t  be very time-consuming. The Pronto is just a dream to
se=
t
up, actually works, and is only =A340 over budget!

I'm after something t  both replace the current clutter of remotes and=20

confused by the need t  tell TV t  use input from VCR, VCR t  use input=20
from OnDigital box, and then to change channels on the digibox.

So something with a big LCD, lots of configuration options, lots of=20
macros I can put t gether, and maybe a timer is on the cards.  Oh, and=20

This thing looks good http://www.remotecentral.com/sony/index.html
