I have the TSU-2000 (I think that's the #) and I have found that the DirecTiVo remote (peanut shaped, but I don't think it's the original people speak of) is easier to use by touch. I pretty much use the Pronto to turn everything on and off now. An expensive universal power button...
The beep it emits when you go to the home screen to shutdown everything let's the dogs know it's time for bed.
