5.0 out of 5 stars Love it, December 27, 2008

We have had the MX 3000 for about three years. I love it!

I did all of the programming myself. I thought it was fun. We often change the devices it controls. I cannot imagine how often it would be sent to a technician if I had to rely on someone else to program the devices. I found the Apple TV the hardest device to program.

I have programmed other universal remotes including the Harmony 1000. I find the Harmony 1000 harder to program, there are not enough options. The MX 3000 is the only remote that I have used that gives me all of the options that I need for my devices. It also lets me use my own Icons so that I can easily see my devices.

After using the MX 3000 for three years, the hard keys have become sticky and today I dropped it, it landed on a corner of a UPS and I broke the screen. I cannot tell you how upset I am. I am hoping the screen can be replaced.

Now I am adding the devices my MX 3000 controls to the Harmony 1000. Not fun. Not fun at all. I want my MX 3000.

I've been through a lot of remotes in the past and currently have been using this item for over a year. In short not a problem to date. The best remote I've ever had. Best functions are the RF capability which allow you to do anything from virtually anywhere when using the MRF300. Only challenge would be the programing of this. If you don't know what you're doing you're going to need to have technician program it for you. The included software is mid line user friendly and you do have to have some knowledge of moving things around and programing. I had no problem but have a good technical background.

The software is not compatable with Vista but only XP. Seems they stopped supporting the software as well since the updates are no longer available. You can however go online and download all kinds of programs for it though. Some are even free but the cool ones do cost. If you are knowledgable enough you can even create your own. I chose the latter.

Again in short. Top Notch Remote. I wont move to another one. This one controls my 1000 sq ft theater including screen and many RF light controls. Just can't keep the kids out. That's what the biometric door lock is for. Thumb print entry. Gotta love it. Both of them!!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Buying MX-3000 was a big expensive mistake, June 24, 2008

We splurged on a $20K home theatre bonanza, all of which is pretty awesome except the mx-3000 universal remote. There is a constantly fluctuating variation in the sensitivity and latency of the touch pad. I feel like the biggest sucker in the world sitting here on the sofa having to make 10 attempts at pressing channel "500." After 3 seconds it takes whatever you've been able to successfully press .. so, a few times is is only "5", then "50", then "500", then "800" (oops, you dropped your finger too close to the 8!). I promise you, it is the most frustrating, annoying thing you will ever pay $1000 for. We are very close to throwing it away and fishing out all the remotes our installers left somewhere in the theatre cabinet.
