RE: Something for the weekend sir ?

["Paul Gale" <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Dean,

I'm currently using a Harmony 895 - which for the first time ever for all
t=
he prontos etc I've owned, is actually controlling everything I need in
the=
AV room :)

Would you say the Nevo is somewhere between the pronto and harmony in easy
=
of setup? Or is it still closer to the pronto?

I have looked at the Nevo before but was undecided. I'm kind of thinking
ab=
out the next remote and maybe the Harmony will get relegated to the guest
b=
edroom...

Paul.
