As I posted below, my Pronto TSU3000 just died and I need a replacement. I'm looking for:

1) Price -- around $100

2) Components- I have a mix of older and newer stuff, newer Onkyo reciever, Uverse remote, Samsung plasma, old panasonic DVD player, old vcr etc

3) Utility- I assume it will have to be a learning remote, since I was unable to find codes for some of the companents when programming my Pronto. I also liked being able to push a single button to turn on my TV, cable box, receiver, select sound output (also receiver), select source (also receiver) all at once. So macros are a must too.

4) I did like having the touch screen and the ability to customize it, however this is not a deal breaker and a remote with just buttons will work too.

After some research, it looks like the Logitech 700 or the URC R50 might fit the bill. There is a great review of the R50 on this site, but could not find one of the 700 so I would like to get some input on the differences of the 2. Sounds like the R50 may by much harder to program then the 700 and does not use a PC to program (not sure whether this is good or bad).

So let me know what you think between these two or any others in this price range. Thanks

thanks
