MX-1000: Yes, it looks like the wait may finally be coming to an end. Really! Shortly, I hope to be receiving a brand new Home Theater Master MX-1000 remote control to look over. It will be interesting to see how far it's come since the early model I saw over six months ago -- which was quite a bit better than the one I heard about several months before that. Hopefully all the time since will have been used to enhance the remote, which will still hold a unique place in the marketplace as the only third-party universal remote with joystick menu control. Keep an eye here for more news, which I hope to have soon. Really!
