Im looking for someone in the UK to design and program my pronto 940 for me.

Reward depending on results would be Russ andrews yello power cable (29.95) or maybe 2 for a great job ?

Any takers ??

Hi There, my equipment is:

Sony KV-32LS60U (remote number RM-932)
Toshiba sd900e dvd player (remote number SE-R0039)
Pace sky plus digibox
pioneer VSX-859RDS amp (remote number AXD7273)
Sony SLV-E7 VCR (remote number RMT-V131)

Im looking for an original design,or at least all the same style, maybe a channel guide for sky also.
if you could email me with any samples you have done, and i can send you a few ideas ?

Thanks

You did post a legit question.

But the other guys were commenting (and I agree, rudely) on the level of payment. Guys who this for a living charge at least US$200-300.

Quite often several days of work can be involved depending on how customised you want it.

Most of us (who build our own) have spent many person-weeks if not months on tweaking our configurations.

Another point - if you wanted macros (say to switch everything on, switch to Sky and select the Cartoon channel) then whoever does your CCF would have to know *exactly* how your equipment is connected up (so the audio/video selection is done right) and would have to find discrete codes (if available for your equipment). As Peter has said, this can take weeks (I have spent weeks with my own setup, *just figuring out a macro to select video inputs on my TV*).

Take some time out to do your own CCF using the ones available in the Files section as a starting point or inspiration. If you cannot get anywhere with those, at least you should have a better understanding of what is required - and what to offer next time you post. Good luck.

You Doggist!

Mine's clever, it altered my original CCF in seconds. Pity I couldn't use the Pronto after though.

He did get at least one, that I'm aware of. After the ribbing he got here though methinks he thought it was just more of the same.
