Quick update: I've again confirmed that an RTI TheaterTouch is indeed on its way to my office, to be followed next week by the RF base and power sensors. RTI is apparantly struggling to keep up with the demand for this product -- which makes me all the more eager to actually see it in person. Universal Remote Inc.'s forthcoming Home Theater Master MX-1000 appears to again have been delayed, now until May. Let's cross our fingers; what I saw of it during January's CES 2000 show was very promising.

Philips Pronto: It's been oddly quiet on the Philips front, with little news in the forum on the recently discovered Pronto glitch. I've been trying for quite a few days now to speak to my contact at Philips, however I seem to have been accomplished is cutting six second from the time it takes to get through their automated phone system. Rest assured that the problem WILL be fixed by Philips; it's just a question of how and when -- questions I hope to have answered for this week.

CCF files: A few new Pronto system files are available this week, from Geert Van Espen, Loran Richardson and Rob Tonnesen. In addition, Pierre Perrier sent up a French collection of television icons. Amazingly, we're now up to over 1300 device configurations -- but there's still huge holes in covered components. If your system has ANY device that's not already available, please send it over to us for inclusion!
