Advantages: Allows you to do everything from 20 feet way!
Disadvantages: none
Introduction
##########
This remote control came with my computer package setup with Windows Media Centre Edition. If you have the Media Centre Edition on your PC but it didn't come with this remote control, don't despair; you can purchase the remote and the receiver separately and install it.
Who Is This For?
##############
This is for users of Windows Media Centre Edition computers. It will allow you to work mouse free from 20 feet away.
You can control your PC via the menu system and also pause, play, and even record TV onto your hard drive with this (you have to have a TV tuner installed for these features). You can manage your music, shuffle through tracks, play, pause and even record from radio channels. It's like your digital hub. That's what I really enjoy about it. I have my PC in my living room and use it connected upto my main TV and this is indeed the main hub of our family entertainment. We browse through family photographs, listen to music watch movies; things we wouldn't normally do sitting in front of the computer.
The Remote
##########
Looks and will fit in with any other remotes you may have in your living room with a slick backlit button keypad.
It has all the buttons you will need; at the top you have your video controls, the usual play, record, stop, and pause, skip forward, and skip backwards. Your volume controls, and the channel controls.
Requirements
############
Computer with Windows Media Centre Edition
2 x AA batteries
USB Port
Conclusion
##########
You will really be surprised at how much difference this remote will make to your life. It allows you to control absolutely everything from your couch. You can sit around with your family and flick through your family videos and pictures - something we never did before.
An excellent product that will change your life.
Summary: Excelent product!
