Is there a way to program the MX900 so that when a function key is pressed, i.e. a channel number or the guide button, the backlight on the remote display will come on?

Yes I know that it is not hard just to push the light button on the side, but it would be more convenient if the display lit up when using the remote's keypad.

By the way, having just got this remote and using it with my relatively simple setup with the MRF 300, I am totally impressed with the way its working.:)

Thanks in advance for your responses

buttons light up only with the light button, although pressing buttons will extend the backlight on time, hoping URC could add this in a firmware update, but doubtful
