I wish this thing was RF!  Why don't they make high end remotes use high
power RF?  None of this wireless mouse strength crap either.  I want to
be able to control my stereo from beside the pool without a system of
mirrors.  The Dish Network PVR501 had a FANTASTIC remote.  RF & IR in
one device.  Great range, too good actually.  Me and a few neighbors had
to gang together and assign each other different remote IDs (remote
offers 12) to keep from changing channels of a unit 3 houses away.  (But
the remote is they only good thing I have to say about Dish Network.)
