Hello, I was wondering if you have a universal remote, actually its a learning remote, and i've taught it most of the 950's commands, will moving to the 990 require relearning, or will it use the same commands as the 950 ?? thanks alot, reade.

Some of the stuff will be the same (volume, numbers, navigation buttons), but others will need to be re-learned (input commands, surround modes, tuner controls).

I've seen references to various comprehensive remotes on this forum. Question:
Has anyone been able to use the features of
dishnetwork's model 721 sat receiver with Outlaws 990 remote. Any experience with dish 721 receivers and other universals. Thanks.

Readster, if you have a pronto or mx-700 there are files available for them. (I have the mx 700 file but I would be more than willing to let somebody host them).

Thanks Gonk for hosting it.

Everything has been tested except for the second zone stuff because I don't have a second zone set up.

Trying to decide between the Theater Master MX-700 and MX850 with the MRF-250 RF Receiver.

Since my equipment is beside me (rack about 6 ft to the left) and the projector is above and behind me, I was wondering if anyone else has had luck with the MX-700 without to much "pointing" involved. Right now with the stock remotes that came with the equipment, you have to point remotes in every direction...

You can see my setup here if it would help: http://ns1.gnomishworks.com/gallery/albums.php

Any thoughts?

Not sure about the 700 or 850 but the MX500 has amazing coverage.

Is all your equipment in front, or scattered? I could also buy the MX-850 stand alone and use it in IR mode for now..

MX-700 ~$150
MX-850 ~$205
MX-850+ ~$250

The mx-700 has amazing coverage as well but for your situation you may be better off with the 850 just to be safe. Nice theater by the way.
