Re: Pronto Remote control

The Pronto looks great Andy.  I know Mike Huggins is after one but he was
having trouble finding even a US company with stock.  Have these folks
actually got some in stock?  What's their price and what are they charging
for UK delivery.

I have seen the news about the RS-232 cable and software and it looks like
an ideal unit.  For anyone that hasn't seen the Pronto there is a good
review of it (and others) at this site..

Hi,

I've just placed my order for a Pronto remote control from
www.prontoedit.com - there's a little extra news the Pronto now comes with
a
serial cable and at the end of this month the ProntoEdit software that
allows you to upload/download *BOTH* your IR configs and GRAPHICS to/from
the remote - What I've been waiting for for ages..Channel Logos, DD logos,
DTS, X10 etc

Just one other thing.. if you have a WinTV card with S-Video input try the
hauppague (sp) IR remote control.. nothing special about it except that by
just changing the .INI file you can make it work with your own
applications... I'm just finishinhg off a small scripting program that
controls both X10 via CM12 and IR via RedRat.. well wicked... and the
remote
control that comes with the hauppage remote can be learnt by most learning
remotes.. as well as one for all remotes-- it's actually manufactured by
Philips  so using a Philips TV remote code works too!!
