I throw the Sony SAT-T60 remote in the hide-away storage on the sofa and use my Phillips Pronto.
The only time I use the peanut one is when I don't feel like switching panels on the Phillips to enter the 30 second skip code... Maybe I should just reconfigure my Pronto menus... heck Even a macro to do the 30 second skip code! Yeah that's it. I keep getting new versions of software for DTiVo requiring reboots. (That beta thing...)
