HD200 remote goodness

[ma22xx]

I ended up ordering a couple of cheap used harmony remotes off ebay. If they work out then I can buy 4 more and have a standard remote for all rooms again. I just really like the look/feel/layout of the tivo remote. I'm sure it's got more to do with the fact that I've been using tivo remotes since my first tivo 8 years ago then anything else. Still, i think it's button layout is nice and the buttons are all big enough or well labeled that there's not much learning required to use it. I like that I can have relatives over and hand them the remote and with only a little instruction they'll be controlling the system. Ah well, the harmonies aren't so ugly and if I switch from clients to extenders they will provide alot more functionality then the tivo remote would.

My only problem with a Tivo remote is that there isn't a stop button.

When I've used this remote, I map the play button on the remote to Play/Pause and use the Pause button mapped to Stop... not ideal, but it seemed to work for me. Just have to educate other users.
