So I've used my remote for watching the ball drop on New Years, and for 2 Blu-Ray movie viewings and so far I love this thing. It has a nice wide IR transmit field so that I don't need to point right at my components, and it is great not having to select the component I want when I am in an "activity". It know that when I press the volume button up or down to send that signal to the receiver, but when I want to pause or whatever the movie, that goes to the Blu-Ray. No more pressing "RECEIVER" or "TV" or "AUX" or whatever button at the top like more universal remotes and then pressing the control I want. It also works perfectly to turn on all of my gear and set them to the proper setting for that activity. It sends "power on" and then HDMI or Component on the projector, the receiver on and to the needed input, the Dish, HD-DVD, or Blu-Ray are turned on and set as needed. Now if the remote could just get up and put the disc in the tray, it would be perfect.
It makes me want to get some IR light switches now...
