Since it's discontinued, is there risk that the software will no longer work or that there won't be updates for newer hardware? Thx

I don't work for Philips but ... since the Prestigo can memorize any IR code, I don't think it will ever become obsolete. I've been very happy with this remote. I have 2 TV's, blu-ray player, DirecTV DVR, Apple TV, Roku, and an Xbox programmed into mine.

That's always a possibility, Desiree, but also likely that Phillips will bring another remote that yours will still be compatible with, I'd contact customer service at Phillips and ask them direct.

Yes, there is absolutely that risk. I found that it wouldn't work with some of my equipment and that the company couldn't assist so I returned it

Of that I am not sure, but Phillips no longer supports this remote and therefore there is no software to program it.

There is little risk in terms of software support. They do a good job of keeping it up to date.

I'm running 10.7.5 and it's great. Don't know if it is backward compatible.

So long as you are able to load the software, it seems it should work. Why do you fear it would not?

No. I wouldn't count on any of the drivers working. You most likely will have to download a generic driver or let windows update find it for you

I managed to upgrade it to 4.0 before I sold it. It was a simple upgrade. Unfortunately, it still wasnt completely stable.

After being "forced" into a more expensive model, the unit is still useless as it is limited by the software. I have not had any success on either of the three you asked about.

I was able to use it as a webcam a couple of times after I bought, but not any more. Probably a Windows update rendered the software incompatible and Sanyo hasn't bothered to release an update. There certainly is nothing on their website. At least I'd like an explanation.

Unfortunately, I do not have any information concerning the item being discontinued by the manufacturer. I tried contacting them, but the number I have is disconnected.

Because the software is SO outdated, I highly doubt it. However, you could always call Mattel and ask them. This thing was a nightmare, truly. I watched my little girl, heartbroken, over this expensive, non working, non compatible toy. In theory, this toy would be absolutely incredible. However, it was my experience that the unit was defective and the software beyond outdated and non compatible. Best regards.

Just keep looking on ebay. That's what I had to do! Another great product discontinued for no apparent reason!

Mine has worked fine for the past 3 years, I have not downloaded the update ans seems to work fine.

I would recommend the support at the manufacturer/Vendor online. The software is pretty simple and I have not needed to update it therefore I don't have the knowledge to know how or where.Larry

Not aware of any software updates. Have not had any issues with mine and it runs non-stop. If it's pretty new and you are having issues, I would return to amazon. This is my second Pandigital frame & have no issues with either.

this works good with windows 8 but the software included is out of date and i am now unable to use the device without spending money on current software

I believe this was the most up to date unit, they have been around a while and I wasnt aware that there was a newer version for maybe quite some years? Don't know for sure though, I suspect the price drop (as well as the price drop on the G-system) that has occurred fairly recently is a sign that they may be poised to release some new models? but have searched and found nothing on this subject. This was a nice unit though!

From my experience I would say no.....mine came with old software and even when it broke and I had to send it to Montreal to be fixed it came back with the old software....this was 6 weeks ago.

I am having the same problem. They say that a software update will fix it but now, even the software update does not work. I am pretty sure I have wasted my money, sadly. I have actually stopped using it.
