Best RF Remote
Which of these bad boys do you think would be the best overall (cost a factor) for use with Sage? I forgot the remote wonder. Sorry guys

Check out this remote as well....

And also see if the Remote Wonder 2 is available yet. I am looking too but I want an all in one solution so it needs RF and IR to control everything.

The Pronto does both, but it doesnt provide a RF interface for the PC. I would imagine, you can install the one from the Firefly for instance, and use it, but I am not sure.

Also, it seems that's a generic remote floating around that different companies are sticking their names on. That's the 3rd brand on the exact same looking remote I've seen.

Yup, my problem is I need to control about 8 sources The MX700's of the world would be ok, but they are similarly expensive anyway.

Based on our past conversations, don't forget that whatever receiver you use, you will probably want it to have a Girder plugin unless its own software is quite configurable regarding how it communicates with programs it is controlling.

Why isn't the ATI remote on the list. It is a RF remote and a pretty good one at that.
