I am a dedicated remote programmer and I love the way the urc is designed. I have ran into few issues over the past years I have programmed. Physically the remotes are very durable and can withstand kids. I usually do one or two per day. The programming is quick and easy. Also, from what I have seen with the mx980, I think URC is headed in the right direction. Personally, I think they are a great solution for those who don't have the money or desire for crestron or amx. So I guess I am saying thanks to URC for giving me a job and making it easy.
You have reached my voicemail. I will be out of the office until you stop calling.
