I've just obtained a Pronto RU940 minus instructions.
Does anyone have a TiVO config they could give me which works with this remote? A Sky+ one would be good as well.
Then I only need to do my TV, Freeview, and XBox 360!

I have got them but they are on my PC at home. If you are in a hurry, pop over to remote central and rummage through the database there.

Software and manuals are here http://www.pronto.philips.com/index.cfm?id=902
I don't seem to have any of the software or manuals or my set up on my PC anymore.
I guess I'd better plug it in and upload the config at some point and do the tweaks I've been intending to do for ...several years!
EDIT - found it all lurking in an archive folder.
I hope you got the serial cable, if not the pin out is on remotecentral in one of the FAQs
The best way to set up the remote is to make holding screens for all the buttons you will need, then learn all the codes (sensor is at the bottom of the remote not the top) into screens which you then hide in ProntoEdit. The macros and screens you actually press use aliases to those hidden screens.
That way if you change DVD player you can simply update the hidden screen and all the control screens that use DVD functions update automatically.
If you learn each button individually it uses more memory and makes changes labourious and slow.

Yeah I got the serial cable. I also have a USB-Serial adapter cable for the computer and some pronto-edit-a-like software for my Mac so hopefully I'll be able to figgure it all out without resorting to Windows.
