My search for a uni that prioritizes my Tivo with RF out of the box has pointed me to a URC-9910. Before I pull the trigger I want to learn a bit more about the JP1 interface. Seems like computer programmiability is a very worthwhile feature but, according to the to the list at hifi-remote.com, is not JP1 compat.

Since my prority is using the remote for TV consumption and not hacking something so I can control drapes, lights, et al...should I even concern myself with the JP1 issues?

Is there a remote with a comperable rep to the 9910 that supports JP1?

What does "prioritize" mean in this context?

is not JP1 compat.

Which list are you referring to? The URC-9910 most certainly is JP1 compatible.

the JP1 issues?

The prime goal of JP1 is not to make your remote work your drapes (though that's certainly possible), the prime goal is to make your remote control all of your A/V devices. It would kinda suck if the remote worked your TV and VCR but didn't work your DVD player, for example. JP1 would make it control the DVD player too. This is especially relevant these days because many stores are selling really cheap, no name brand, DVD players and most of them are not covered by the built in codes of most universal remotes.

The 9910 will work your Tivo, with or without JP1, so go for it.

Thanks for the link to that list, I had forgotten all about that page, and it's WAY out of date, so I will delete it.
