HTPro (URC-9811B00) still available ???

I have all three of the different URC-9910 remotes.

1) URC-9910B00 (one with the donut)
2) URC-9910B01 (same as 1 except pbs instead of donut)
3) URC-9811B00 (HTPro, same as 2 but better feel, works better)

I love the URC-9811B00 (HTPro) and would like to get a few more. I am having trouble finding it online. Is it still available and where can I get it?

I don't think you're going to find the HT-Pro anywhere anymore. BlueDo cleaned the distributor out and then dumped all of their stock on ebay. If you can make do with the URC-9910B01, I still have a few left.

Thanks for the information! You are the man. I guess I should have bought more last time. Who made the HTPro and why was it discontinued? Does this mean the other 9910's will be discontinued and become unavailable also?

Yes, the new line of OFA remotes consist of urc-6820, 8820, 10820, and the kameleons. I have one last HT-PRO, $35 plus shipping. I paid $25 from tweeter, not $8 like others.

None of those appear to be rf remotes. I use rf remotes because all of my sat receivers are in one location and then modulated to all the tvs in my house. Will there be a "next generation" of rf remotes also?

They now have a RF kameleon, the urc-9964.

The RF kameleon urc-9964 looks pretty sweet. Any idea if/when we can hack it with the JP1 stuff we use here?

I imagine that the URC-9964 is just a dressed up URC-9960, so the JP1 tools are probably already ready to handle it, but we won't know for sure until someone buys one and reports back.

The HT-Pro, like all other JP1 remotes, was made by UEI, and like all things in life, it eventually got discontinued. Remember, even the best remote ever made (the 15-1994) eventually got discontinued!

And yes, the URC-9910 has also been discontinued.

I haven't counted recently, but I think I have about 4 or 5 URC-9910s left, so if you think it's close enough to being an HT-Pro, you should grab one up while you can.
