I'd like to see a new remote with more buttons, just for the simple
reason that I'd like to easily program my universal remote with all
of
the new/extra buttons.
So you want a new remote so you can use another remote? Odd.
It's not odd...it's the reason some use the JVC DVD remote
codes.....dedicated FF/REW/PAUSE buttons for starters. It's a pain for the
average joe to dick around at this level. Especially when you are talking
universal learning remote, and you don't have a JVC DVD remote to start
with, and the default button layout is non-intuitive.
(I have done so using an old ZENITH DVD remote, but it's not the
same....and far more work than it's worth)
The standard remote that comes with the SB is TERRIBLE, and a
definite turn-off.
A Turn-off to you. One of the reasons I love the squeezebox is the
simplicity of the remote. I use my universal remote, but my wife
and kids use the squeezebox remote. It's simple and gets the job
done. If I wanted something more spectacular, I'd use my WiFi pda.
"Simple and gets the job done" is fine and dandy, but how about
intuitive...I doubt that dedicated FF/REW/PAUSE buttons would make the
remote intimidating.
Just hand the remote to someone, and see how long it is before you get the
"how do I do this or that" questions!
