I've been using the URC programmable remotes for years. I have now killed my second MX980 by drowning. Seems as if the damn things are always in the path of a drink I happen to knock over.... Looking for a less expensive option to replace one now.
I need IR/RF as both my systems have the equipment racks behind the seating. I also like remotes with a charging cradle. This Harmony Ultimate has both.
I also use macro's to turn on and turn off all the equipment with one button push. I also use macros to switch from one source to another and with the MX remotes, I can punch through to any device for any command I want. This is handy for use of a video processor when I want to change aspect ratios.
If anyone has one of these remotes, can you comment on their functionality in comparison to the MX remotes?
