Greg: The dispersion with the Springboard module is ok but not outstanding, in my experience. You do have to point the Visor in at least the general direction of the component you are trying to control.
I'm not sure that it is really any worse than any of the other remotes that I have except for my satellite remote which simultaneously supports RF so I can use it even in another room;-)
I must say that I'm totally satisfied with the OmniRemote Springboard module.
