Just to throw a spanner in the
works…
I’m about to put together a
review,
but need to finish tidying up the ccf first.
It is still very expensive, and the
best ‘net
price I’ve seen is £340, but have a look at the Marantz RC5200. It
has a
built in RF transmitter (that is said to work with Powermid receivers),
larger ‘user’
screen area, and more hard buttons (13 plus a 4-way cursor pad). It may not
sound like a massive difference, but with the Pronto I found I was always
scrolling backwards and forwards between two panels – especially
during
Sky watching.
I also bought an RF-IR converter, the
Philips one (£120, but a Powermid would be cheaper) as the Marantz unit is
still on backorder, so I can now change Sky channels, and operate X-10 from
anywhere in the house without laying any cables (my favourite
way)
Think of it as a black and white pro,
but
with more buttons.

I am
going for RU940, 2MB then.
Pro
is
still a bit too expensive.
Anybody
has that Home Cinema choice where it was advertised for £99 in Richer
Sounds?

The RU890 (long since discontinued) was 1Mb,
the
RU940 is 2Mb and the
RU970 (ProntoPro) is 8Mb...
