Considering HTM's history, we're being a little naive here, aren't we Bill? They only promised about a dozen different ship dates over the last 18 months, and have completely blown every one of them out of the water. Why would you believe them now?

By the way, http://www.hometheaterremote.com/ has a much better price of $225 with free shipping vs your $290 with 10% discount. Maybe we can get a price war going for a remote that doesn't exist!
