Awsome Remote??

Irony and sarcasm are sometimes lost in type. Valiant effort though.

Be sure to really check that the Dish receiver takes only UHF ... I'm not sure what which Dish unit I have, but it takes both IR & UHF. I use the Marantz 2000 MkII remote. You have to teach it, but the time investment is minimal and very worthwhile.

I saw a writeup on the new Phillips Pronto with RF and color and it quoted a MSRP of $999, so if you're going to wait for it, be prepared for sticker shock.

The new Pronto 2000 is the one with the codes built in, the Marantz RC5000i doesn't have them. On the Sony Sat receiver the RF can be turned off so that's what I did and used a Niles repeater. I have the Marantz and these are awesome remotes. My wife can even can use it to turn on the cable, vcr, sat or even the dvd by pressing 2 buttons. But I had to pay one of those internet loser dorks to program the Macros and the station logos. I wonder if chstob thinks Bill Gates and Larry Ellison are ILD's?
