Thanks for the fast response guys!

So if the TRC-780 is zigbee (2.4Ghz), how is the signal range compared to the old CCP remotes such as the MX-900 (418Mhz)? Do most installations require a zigbee repeater/router for a multiroom setup? Typically as frequency increases, range due to obstructions decreases.

I guess the only drawback to the TRC-1280 is that it's not going to have the battery life the TRC-780 has since it uses WIFI? For some reason I can't find the TRC-1280 on Universal's site yet, but the picture here indicates no YBRG buttons?!?:

The TRC-780's metadata would work fine for what I need if there were some hack or workaround...
