Hi all, not sure if this the right forum but I can't start a thread in off-topic for some reason. It's regarding hardware anyway and I'm thinking most people here use some model of it, so here goes:
When I hit "Watch TV", it takes probably 7-10 seconds for the "Please Wait" screen to go away, and I have to keep the remote pointed and unobstructed at the devices until they turn on, which usually takes that whole time. I'm just curious if the more expensive (newer) models like 900 and One are faster in this regard? I'll never go back to factory remotes again, but it would be nice if I could just hit "Watch TV", confirm the little lights on the tv and cable box blink (like I do with the factory remotes), and then toss the remote and it all turns on. I imagine it has to do with the 650 first activating the tv for a few seconds, then the cable box for a few seconds, when it would be ideal if it did both simultaneously.
