I've been putting a lot of consideration into a new remote. The address below is a good site with many remotes reviewed. Their forumns are helpful but a little slow. I was considernig the MX-700 (around $180 is the cheapest I could find without the extra packaged remote). That remote has macros and can be programmed via computer.

sidvicious02, what kinds of things besides quickly checking "the score" do you find lacking with this remote? On a day to day basis, are there anythings you'd need to macro?
