My Pioneer AV receiver came with a learning remote - first thing I did was teach it the codes for my TiVo, Sony DVD and original SLIMP3... since then I've upgraded the Slimp3 to an SB2 and now SBG2, and the remote control for the last 2 has never been taken out of it's bag! I don't think a learning remote should be supplied by Slim Devices - there is plenty of choice out there if you want one, many owners most probably already have one courtesy of their AV receiver. Nowadays pretty much any decent (> £500/$800) AV receiver comes with a basic learning remote. If SD were to supply a learning remote it would have to be the best thing since sliced bread (with a price to match) otherwise they'll be criticised for supplying a sub-standard remote when compared with Logitech/Harmony, All-in-One, Phillips etc. - they'll never please everyone, so why bother trying? I'd much rather the styling of the SBG2 were improved rather than waste time and effort on a learning remote - recent reviews of the SBG2 have slated it's looks when comparing with the Roku, and frankly I wish it were better looking too :) -- Milhouse _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
