I just started programming my new neo last night. I also have a Panasonic Showstopper 2000. Since that is the main control for the TV, it had to work. To my suprise, I had very little trouble getting ALL the showstopper remote buttons programmed into both the hard and soft keys. I used Onions advice to press the Showstopper remote for a second or two before pressing the neo key. Yea, I had to give it several attemps before every one would say "OK" but it only took about 45 minutes to do the whole thing. I also downloaded the config to neoedit every few minutes just to be safe. This remote is definately the coolest. The hard keys make it much easer to use in the dark.
