Hello all. Long time lurker here.
I have a home theater setup with the following:
Sony 50" SXRD
HD-DVD
Blu-Ray (PS3)
DVD
Cable
Yamaha RX-V1500
I ran everything (except PS3) from my URC R7 and loved it. I thought the R7 was a great device since I didn't really need macros.
I recently upgraded my receiver to the excellent RX-V3800, and decided to get an MX-810 so the wife and kids could push one button to do whatever common tasks they wanted to do. I tried a Harmony 880 once and sold it since the Software was awful and the remote not impressive at all to me.
I'm having flashbacks. The software for the MX-810 is dreadful. Sure it's pretty, but the wizard thing gets old real quick. I don't like being forced into someone else's thought patterns. I'm too much of a control freak for wizards.
Anyway, software aside, one of my biggest problems seems to be that the RX-V3800 codes are not included with the MX-810 software. The learning function in the software is as brutal as the rest of it, and the codes for other receivers don't quite line up right.
Has anyone made a profile for the RX-V3800 that I could snag?
Does anyone know when URC might update their codes to reflect the newest receivers?
Thanks all.
GAD
