I sent the NEO back for a number of reasons, here by priority: 1) It has a very, very difficult time learning from anything. 2) It has a bulky, cheap feel in your hand. 3) It would not learn critical functions from the SL9000, see #1. 4) My first touch screen and I didn't like it. I prefer hard buttons, at least now I know.
I spent hours holding the Outlaw/NEO remotes in my lap, on a flat surface, in the bathroom with the light off - Talk about WAF, she was starting to get worried or jealous, I am not sure. The light would blink, then tell me it failed.
I got the MX500 and it learned every command the first time. It has never balked at any learning from anything I could throw at it, that's the difference.
I really wanted to be able to program/save the remote functions with the computer, but I just don't want to spend the $499.00 on the MX700. Now I have found
IRC Clone Which will eventually give me what I want.
As for the conversion programs, they seemed to be setup for the other, more expensive remotes, the NEO is the "step child" of Prontos and there is little support other than everybody who has one complaning about theirs.
