Advantages: Easy media centre navigation

Disadvantages: Big reciever

I purchased this for in conjunction with my custom built media centre PC which I use in the living room of my flat. After having it for a few months I must say it is a must have for anyone who is using any kind of media / entertainment centre.

The first thing you notice when you recieve the item is that the reciever is massive! Its not too great a problem thogh, since you can easily hide it in a conspicous place where it will go unnoticed. The actual remote itself is very good, with backlit numbers and a whole hoard of functionality.

I use the remote with Windows Vista Media Centre ( I think thats what it was designed for), and it makes using it an absolute dream, its so reliable and useful, I couldt live without it now. I think it also works with other media centre software, but I'm not sure if there are any compatibility issues.

Summary: Couldnt recommend it enough for entertainment setups
