Trying to convince myself but the cost is a downer !


Well, pronto works fine with both Tivo and the other IR stuff in the front room - with the exception of the NTL cable box

The main plus's :
-flexibility of adding macros (multiple button presses) to a single key
-lot of downloadable codes for systems including some 'off' commands not on your remote.
-design your own screen layouts to suit your needs

the main minus's :
-cost, although places like ebay are seeing 890's for around £140
-flat touch screen. The screen works well, but the lack of tactile buttons can cause problems, especially if trying to use it in the dark. (Tho there is a backlight function)
-size, is quite a bulky item (although not as bulky as 5 remote control units )
