I'm somewhere in between in this argument. I expected the controller also be good AV System remote given that SD is now part of Logitech. I'd still have to use 2 remotes to listen to my music. The convenience factor of having just one remote is lost with this remote. So, if I want to turn off my SB3 and Receiver I have to put my beer down and reach for my universal remote. As I mentioned in another thread, we need at minimum a remote that can turn the receiver on/off, select the input source and adjust the receiver volume. Why wasn't there any engineering cross pollination between SD and Logitech/Harmony? This would have been the perfect opportunity to show that both companies had integrated well and that SD was taking full advantage of the big pockets and resources of Logitech. Btw, I'd only go as far as making the Controller a better "REMOTE" for any SB and audio receiver combo. A full keypad or other spare keys below the wheel would have been nice. Heck... there is plenty of real estate there. All that spare space gives it a Senior Citizen friendly look. Btw, I'm over 50 so I appreciate it. I don't need a browser, touch screen or PDA like functions in my remote. Some of those functions are mutually exclusive. The remote should be "family-friendly" I would not want to hand over the remote to someone else while I'm browsing the web. I wanna hold my beer in one hand and the remote in the other. I want to be able to throw it to my wife with one hand without spilling any of my beer, so the remote has to be sturdy. Any configuration function of the SC, SB or SB receiver you be done from a computer with a browser. If configuration options need to be accessed from the remote, then these options should be password protected. I don't want my wife or my friends changing the configuration of my SC/SB3 or starting a full clear and scan of my music library. I don't want to forget... congratulation to SD folks this is a big step in the right direction. -- tamanaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
