Hi all, We are expecting our first UFO remote within a week (?) or so. (You all know how that goes sometimes!). After looking at the programming, which is like the MLX-3, it seems like they are contradicting when talking about the 'MenuBack' button in one place and in programming it is called 'More'. I would think of it as a 'More' button since its icon is a page with a plus sign on it. It seems that it needs to represent more of a 'Go Back' (MenuBack) function. Also, in one place it labels the buttons as 'Page Up/Down' for scrolling MLX-3 style, but then in programming it says 'Channel Up/Down'. So...which is it? Channel Up/Down would be nice, but we still need scrolling buttons, right? All in true Crestron fashion, I suppose. I am nit-picking a little and might be asking too much of the remote, I admit. I can make it work, but am not sure that it will be clear enough for our clients. Any thoughts or experiences?
TIA
Jay

Wow - this is just coming out? Wasn't it product of the year for one of the trade shows a few years ago? On Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 9:10 AM, jayrice14 <jay@...>wrote: **

Amazing, isn't it? :) We sold it to our client, let's see....., way back in Feb. of 2011? I think it time we actually deliver it, don't you?

Waterproof? I wonder if it going to be like the WPR-48. Came out as a waterproof remote but if it got water in it, it wasn't covered by warranty.

Done two of them in the past week... refreshingly painless, even with a V24.

Yeah, those awards are a joke.

I can almost give them the channel vs. page bit, as most IR remotes/devices do double duty - if I'm on a guide page on my DirecTV box, they do page up/down - if I'm watching a program, they become channel up/down.
The only time that would suck are the few pieces that come out of the box with buttons for *both*...
That "MenuBack" sounds like a legit gripe!

Looks to me more like 'triple-duty' if you need to scroll on a source that has separate Channel and Page buttons. You will also need scrolling control buttons. I guess you could use soft buttons 1 and 4 for scroll up and down while 2 and 3 can give source commands. Seems kinda lame to cut your window functions in half (when in the middle of the list) in order to use the Up/Down buttons otherwise. Again, probably asking a little too much of a floating, waterproof remote... :)
