Google reveals that XMP is somewhat new, proprietary, and not limited to remotes: http://www.uei.com/html.php?page_id=89 UEI is apparently the company responsible for the "One for All" brand of remote controls: http://www.uei.com/html.php?page_id=62 Here's some random tech details about one XMP remote: http://irtek.wikidot.com/remotecomcastxmp Regards, Andy
