A little coding of a remote control

http://www.comcast.com/Customers/Clu/ChannelLineup.ashx?area=0

I'm desiging a remote control... one that categorizes the stations we look at a regular basis.. and I'm using a piece of software to 'code up' the remote control.  Due to the fact that this is an older remote control and the driver for this is not 64bit, I'm having to use VMware to run the software and then download the program to the remote control.

But in seeing this thread on RemoteCentral I may try it again on the native Vista sp2.. I tried it initially on Sp1 and it sometimes worked fine, sometimes didn't....

In case anyone is still looking for a solution for NG TSU3500, I was able to install prontoeditNG using XP SP2 compatibility mode under Vista x64 bit SP2.
When conecting the remote, it is seen as an HID device, but uploads and downloads work fine.

And yes the icons look like an iPhone.  I'm using the template of several Prontos from the Remote Central site to design the remote for our house.  Instead of his and her stations, we have hers, hers, the Dog however doesn't have too many favorite channels other than Animal Planet.  Speaking of iPhones, my Sister got one of the new 3gS models and when they say that you have to recharge after a day... they weren't kidding.

They do tell you that if you want to conserve battery life to turn off push, turn off 3g, turn off wireless, turn off.... well you get the idea...
