Pronto 950 is =A3199.99 at Unbeatable.

DEFINATELY buy the docking station as the battery life is appauling.
I agree with Mark you need time to ge the CCF right.  My remote is just
abo=
ut getting useable after a week of fiddling, but basically its becuase it
i=
s SO configurable that it takes so long to set up.

Pronto 950 has 100% of the screen addressable instead of the centre 80% ?
o=
n the 890 and 940.  It also has 4mb, but I would imagine you would
struggle=
to fill it.  mine is 85% free at the mo, 8 devices "nearly"
programmed.

It also has estra hard buttons.  This is useful as you end up using the
scr=
een less, and the hard buttons more.

any Q's let me know.

I think we are about ready to take the plunge an buy a programmable remot=

We've a very simple setup with Tivo, TV, DVD, VHS, and Tuner/Amp/CD playe=

But the attraction of Macro's such as 'Play DVD' - 'Show Tivo Now playing=
'
will hopefully reduce the juggling required.

I've seen 2Mb RU940 Proto's for =A3150 to =A3170  and RU950's for over th=
e =A3200
mark.  Is the RU950 worth the extra and is the charger/cradle essential?

What is the general consensus vs. dedicated remotes such as Pronto and a =
PDA
based remote such as a cheap Axim and a CF-IR extender if required.

Is PDAWin the best app to go for (with its CCF compatiblity) or are other
better i.e.  Nevo ?

Thanks for your time and comments in advance
