Jeff,

I think URC had that site take them down because they were not supposed to be released for the public (and other manufacturers) to see. The R7 hadn't even been announced.

While it's fun to have access to bits of information early, it's also illegal (copyright infringement by using the photos) and may cause prices on URC products to go up if other manufacturers steal ideas and produce models before URC can release theirs. I don't think any of us want to see prices go up, if they have to recoup expenses for R & D just because photos were released early...do you?

Just looking out for everyone involved, including you Jeff. :)



Thank you,
Damon DG

Damon,

Out of respect for a company who makes good products and with no encouragement by anyone at URC, I deleted the post. HOWEVER, I would strongly advise anyone looking into a new remote and considering a product in the URC product line to wait until CEDIA's announcements. Far too often consumers get caught with their pants down buying a product just before a new and improved version is released (ask anyone who's bought an Apple product just before a WWDC). My only intent was to help people who are trying to do their homework.

Jeff
