IRBlaster is such a natural accessory that, if anything, I'd hope to see it become part of the stock package. Making it not even an option seems like a bad call, especially on a unit that can be hidden away with all its cabling. I just received mine this past Monday, took all of ten minutes to install and set up the plugin, and now I can't believe I've been SB'ing without it all these years. It goes really well (using an SB2) with the new SB Controller too -- no more trips to the entertainment center to get things started, change what's playing, or power everything down. Just completely convenient music.
While enabling the SBC's IR to control receivers would be nifty, it'd still feel like an awkward step backwards (a wifi controller that still requires line-of-sight to turn things on and off?) to me. -- bobv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bobv's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2452 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
