The remote doesn't use JVC codes. Slimserver just happens (by default) to accept them. This is easy to disable (which is good, because I happen to have a JVC tv and would rather not be mucking with TV volume when I want to change SB volume...). Other than that I don't see anything that stands

How about focusing the review on SB3 instead of SB2, since SB2 is at end-of-life? If you don't have an SB3 contact me... Sean -- seanadams seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this

Sean: I focused my review on the SB2 because that's what I recently bought - I don't have an SB3. Also the internal hardware and operation (with 6.2.x) are the same. I am sure the site would love to update the review to the SB3. I have contacted them but I'm sure they will agree. I was

Thank you! I think that typo likely came from the conversion to HTML the site did. I composed it in OpenOffice.org (for which I am also a fanboy!) and that would sure have tripped the spellchecker. I will probably be taking Sean and Dean's suggestion and rewriting the review for the SB3 and
