    All,

    How do ye find the fact that the one doesnt have coloured buttons.
    I know they are on the display but if something else is on the display how easy is it to have the coloured buttons appear and to get back to the options you had on the remote screen.

    The colour buttons are so important on the VU+ (and most devices) its mad they are not there, plus it wouldnt be spouse friendly going into menus to find the coloured buttons when Sky receiver is heavily dependant on them too.
    What would be the next best thing in a remote that has the ones features and has coloured buttons, a sky remote look and feel would also help.

    The coloured buttons appear on the touch screen part

    But how is that in the real world.

    When the coloured buttons are on the screen can the screen be switched to other functions. If yes how do you switch back to the coloured buttons.

    Also the virtual coloured buttons on the screen are at the top of the remote (far away from the general buttons) when all the buttons normally used are further down.

    The web is littered with complaints from reviewers and users on this issue. Maybe ONE v2 will have them.... Prices seem to be dropping maybe v2 is on the way ?

    They do work fine.

    Mine is set that when I switch to Satellite TV the coloured buttons are there as default. You can switch to other functions easily by pressing other buttons. The position of the coloured buttons can be a pain TBH, but i've got used to them. What suits one person might not suit another

    To be completely honest though, I'm thinking of selling this one and buying a non touch screen version.

    i dont like touch screen at all. It consumes the battery too quickly. I like real buttons more...
    I have Harmony ONE with broken screen and its pain it the arse to use touch screen.

    That's it OldSkulRide, you go and complicate things
    So why the 600 or 650?

    Main reason:

    --->because they have better layout (similar to one, and have colored buttons) that 515.
