I am surprised that no one has offered up an opinion or suggestion here... in the meantime, I have authorized the repair of the MX-311 FireBall. I didn't think I had much choice given the system I already have in place on no alternatives identified.

Once I get the FB reinstalled, I would very much like to dispense with the Pronto Edit program if at all possible. As you may know, the Escient FB GUI is integrated or hardwired into the Philips TSU-9600 remotes. The entire layout is poor and is not intuitive. Are there any programmers out there that could wipe the slate clean and provide a user-friendly interface?

Thank you!
