i have to agree....i have the thing and althoug it is 'cool', it isn't practical for the user simply wanting to replace remotes. that was my main objective, and not to spend time on the computer figuring out a new program. and ergonamically it sucks. i cant get much one handed operation from it, and requiring two hands, and visual recognition is a lotta work compared to the avg univeral remote. ill perhaps investigate the TC or wait for some other easier to handle remotes.
