I/we pretty much use the following daily: 0-9, up/down/left/right, ok/enter/exit, epg, recordings, timers, color keys, subtitle, play/pause/stop/ffw/rew, record, skip +/-... I also like to have a few keys available for macros. I haven't found any remote that I felt was perfect. I'd love to design one with my own specific button layout but the cost to make a custom remote exceeds my willingness to pay for it so I've got a few that are good enough. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
