JP1 Remotes

Rob,

I have taken a look at you website numerous time over the years. I have enjoyed the info on JP1 programming.

We all hate Radio Shack. We all know their remotes better than the jugheads working the counter.

My question is when are ya gonna contact UEI and create you own remote? You know what functionality we are looking for. You could tidy up the JP1 software to make it a little more user friendly and have the most competent remote below $300. But selling well below $100. Right now there are no computer programmables that I know that manufacturers are selling below $100. Work a distrubution deal with some of our sponsors and everything would rock soon after.

I have thought that Radio Shack could do this but it doesn't seem that it's a tack that they want to take. Fine....Someone else can benefit.

What are your thoughts?

Walt

I'm always offering UEI my advice, but it's then up their decision makers to decide which advice to accept and which to reject.

I was involved a little with the URC-6131. The original design had a VCR / PVR device button, which I thought was ludicrous for a "PVR" remote, and fortunately they accepted this piece of advice and created a dedicated PVR device button.

I expect that UEI will come out with a remote that meets your needs sooner or later, and hopefully I will be given the opportunity to offer some suggestions along the way. But the way the process works, I wouldn't be able to comment on it until the remote was actually available.
