[QUOTE="Gcarr, post: 1274309, member: 149437"] I should have clarified that I was still using the remote while in CEC mode when I wrote that. But I've since made more progress in that regard. I had the hardest time getting the programming software to sync with the remote but, , I think I've got it working almost as good as my old setup now. The record button does not work for some reason but I can still use the menus for that. The worst thing about the new Samsung remote was that since it had no number pad, you had to select from a 0-9 number menu but, it would only let me select 1 number which it immediately sent without waiting for additional button presses. So trying to enter a channel index number greater than 1 digit was impossible. The Logitech remote fixed that issue for me so, now I don't have to scroll through hundreds of channels in the guide just to change channels lol. Can you briefly explain how your setup with the 660 works? Would I need to have an IR receiver installed on my PC? (please excuse my ignorance, I've never had mine set up any other way than with CEC). I think I'd like to experiment without going through CEC to see what all I'm missing. Thanks for the thorough write up. That was extremely helpful. [/QUOTE]
