I had an older version of that Pronto, the Pronto Neo. It was great in concept, but was a bit to early in the technology. It was the little brother to the big boy Pronto but had many of the features. The biggest difference was screen size, and that was a real issue. It is almost all touch driven and on mine, it was hard to use sometimes. I liked it because it was very cool at the time, and you can customize it on the computer, but ultimately the H 890 is much easier to use.

I'm not saying stay away from this one, as it is several generations newer, just check it out first. A friend of mine had the same one as me and he absolutely hated the form and function. So opinions vary.

This is what happens whenever you wear the wrong glasses ... Whoa.


I'm liking the looks of the Harmony 1100 Zimm, I've just never been a fan of touch screen technology. I do want to get a remote with RF capabilities, our Harmony 880 gets confused whenever I programmed the remotely controlled dimming lights. The equipment uses interconnected IR emitters and the remote dimmer doesn't, whenever I had the lights programmed into the 880 either the equipment would turn off or the lights wouldn't function due to the different locations of the IR eyes. I'm thinking RF will solve that issue.

Since I'm "bitten" already, I just now ordered the 1100 from amazon with the free rf extender for about $418 shipped. It will be here tomorrow!

Anybody need an 880?

Wow....I've never been involved with a thread hijack before...of course it seems that there is a battle in the cockpit. The thread keeps going back and forth from Universal Remotes to Myopic concerns....
