This is just a drop dead sexy remote from Logitech. It's a touchscreen & comes in at under $500, and seems to be more than capable. The question which will remain in the back of my head, is if you're using Vista MCE, do you really want to invest in a remote before the Sideshow-compatible remotes come out? Will these […]

Chris Lanier is on a roll today with the latest news on remotes. This time up it's a little in depth look at the Sideshow remotes that we've been promised for months but have yet to see one publicly. I gotta reitterate my previous post, I'm quite dissapointed that we've still not seen any new remotes for Vista after all […]

Vista's been out for several weeks now, and I'm genuinely surprised how long it's taken for stuff like this to come out. But it's good to see Ricavision taking charge on a market they previously weren't in, looks like they've got some cool remotes coming out for your MCE setups. Running from left to right, the first one pictured is […]

No, this isn't a sideshow remote, but it does come close to having the same functionality as one. tv compass appears to be taking a shot at Harmony with their blurb about setting up in front of your HT equipment rather then connected to a PC. A fully functional EPG can be downloaded to the remote itself, including a search […]

Dave Zatz has a quick lil review on his new Harmony 550 Remote he just bought. It's a darned sexy remote…but it's no 880 or 1000 😉 But then again, you can often find this one for less than $100. Compared to the 520, the 550 seems to have a better build quality. It’s more solid, the buttons respond better, […]

Its hard to fathom that a 600 dollar console would not come with a remote to control it's Blu-ray player. As Gizmodo suggests, its clearly worht the tweny five dollars to get the Bluetooth PS3 remote if you are using your PS3 as a dedicated player. The kicker is that a universal remote will NOT work because there is no […]

The Harmon 720 falls below the 880 in the Harmony heirarchy. The 720 still gets you the same activity based functions as all harmony remotes but they layout is different. The remote isn't the nice peanut shape that is on the higher end remotes but should still get the job done. From the article: I have spent a good deal […]

There are not too many players in the "macro/activity" remote market. The Pronto line of remotes from Philips is on of them and it is evident why they remain a player. The screen in the TSU9600 is a 3.7" 640X480 screen with 20 hard keys surrounding it. From the article: The Hardware Picking it up for the first time, the […]
