I would like to thank "Adam Holt" for the work he did; just thought I'd upload my version of his idea.

Here is my German system layout. It's complex, and has been through numerous revisions. All PNG images used in the system are included in a separate archive.

This is my idea for complete remote control over my home theater.

This remote controls a wall panel of near identical Samsung HDTV's - one 52 inch, two 40 inch and one 26 inch over by the bar. Also, it can control the home theater, the gym TV and the TV in the Nanny room.

What makes this remote set up unique are the following:

• Extensive use of Pronto Script to keep track of how the remote is being used and in controlling the routing of the AV device chosen to the View Station desired. There are two modes. Individual TV/view station mode and in Game Room mode where the three game room TV's are all on and controlled at the same time.
• Extensive utilization of the RF system to communicate to all of the gear centrally located in the media closet (including 3 identical DVR boxes) and to control the identical Samsung TV's in the game room.
• Utilization of the Audio Authority whole house AV distribution system
• Utilization of the new Sony HES-V1000 Media Server including the discovery of its discrete on/off codes.

I have not finished completing the music and picture systems. However, over the years I have utilized so much from this site, I felt it was time to provide some payback! As you know, a good remote control is never done!

A complete system with a large number of components.

I lost my config (don't ask) and needed something quick and functional before my wife called a divorce attorney. I couldn't find anything for the newer Samsung TV's that I liked so I borrowed some Samsung graphics and hacked a few panels together with clear buttons. I broke a lot of design rules but this may save your marriage, it did mine!

A complete system configuration with lots of discrete codes.

Nice and simple version of the default design pre-loaded onto the TSU9600, this has got me going for now until I can work out some better graphics. Utilises the RFX9600 for commands back to my rack, and integrates the first version of the new Sonos Module. Control is via IR at the moment, but Ver 1.2 will hopefully include RS232 commands to the Pioneer AV Receiver and Blu-Ray Player, along with the new version of the Sonos Module. As I say, nothing radical, but for someone who wants to see a slightly more detailed design than the standard one with some added macros, this may prove useful.

My first attempt at a Windows Phone 7 Metro themed remote. Not much animation yet.

I use this system in my workout room, while on the treadmill or on the elliptical crosstrainer. In addition, being in my early fifties, I need reading glasses for any font smaller than 14. Therefore, the buttons are designed to be large and color-coded. This way they can be immediately found even when you are beating the hell out of yourself (in terms of cardio fitness), and even if you are far-sighted (in terms of focal length of your anterior eye chamber).
