		<description><![CDATA[Hi Shane,

Re your statement, &quot;This means that Logitech with its great line of Harmony remote controls will have the market pretty much to itself.&quot; That is completely inaccurate. Many Philips Pronto controls were programmed by custom installers (i.e., not DIY)... and that market is DOMINATED by URC (Universal Remote Control, www.universalremote.com). In fact, according to CE Pro magazine&#039;s June 2010 brand analysis of the top 100 residential custom installation companies, URC was installed by 88 percent of them, Logitech by only 8 percent, and Philips had fallen out of the top 5 entirely (the others were Crestron, RTI and Control4). In addition, URC offers a full line of DIY remotes at retail, including the Digital R50, which can hold its own against any Logitech remote. URC lapped the field against Pronto a long time ago. We encourage you and your readers who don&#039;t know about us to check us out!]]></description>
