My
MX-700 review has my complete config file, including "on" and "off" macros that my wife uses ("on" turns on the TV, turns on the cable box, sets the 990 to the cable box's input - thus also turning it on - and sets the TV to the component2 input; off turns off the TV, cable box, and 990).
I haven't had the 990's remote out in nearly a year - not since I used it to configure my MX-700. Every command I might need from every remote I have is in the 700, and all the other remotes stay in the drawer.
