Of course, I - being completely objective :-) - am pleased that you
went with Pronto.
Look around this site for possible downloadable codes for your device,

http://www.remotecentral.com/index.html
Especially, try to find the "Files" section.
Navigation there isn't always easy for me, but there's lots of stuff

Browsing at these sites might turn up stuff that can be converted to
Pronto - I'm not sure:
