I have to admit that these seem like bizarre comments to me: (1) Battery life: the SB3 remote runs through a set of batteries like once every two years or so? Hardly qualifies as "always issues". (2) Robustness: I drop mine all the time and the worst thing that happens is the batteries fly out. Again, hardly a problem. If you run over it with your car, you can always order another one, which brings me to... (3) You can control your SB from any computer with internet access. This includes an iPhone, PDA, laptop, etc. You can also use a universal remote, or a JVC remote. Frankly, you can use pretty much any remote you want (with a little extra effort because you would have to write down the codes). These are non-issues IMO. The SB is much more flexible in this regard than any other piece of electronics I own. -- lanierb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lanierb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5566 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53903 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
