Finally got to spend some dedicated time with my 976 this weekend, and am loving it. I have to agree with everyone about the remote however; erratic operation (especially when in the setup menus), intermittent acceptance of commands, etc. I like the slimness and feel of the remote, and the simple, straightforward buttons (although I think the volume buttons could have at least had a little nub on them), its just the flakey operation that's disappointing. My wife can't operate it at all (silver lining?).
