My local Best Buy has Open Box Pronto Neos for $179. I currently have a Harman Kardon TC1000. Does anyone have any experience with the Harman Kardon and the Neo? Is the Neo as easy to configure as the Harman? I found the Harman to be extremely easy to set up or modify.

Are there built in codes for the New DirectTivo units? I am soon to have three of those so it is quite important that the Neo control a Direct Tivo.

I have read this forum and have found a sort of love it or hate it attitude as one will find with almost all techie stuff. What I am looking for is a remote with some good hard button functionality and a good touchscreen customization ability. That is why I am looking at the Neo. My wife is used to the Harman so I can continue her on that one. But my dad is a hard button afficionado. So the more functionality I can map onto the hard buttons the better. I have a Radio shack 15-1994 programmed for him now. It runs a home theater setup with a dishplayer. I would like to simplify his life a bit with a new remote that is a bit more flexible than the Radio shack.
