You are right, who needs dongles? We don't need to be selling all our custom remotes than can do pretty much anything except control the only BT controlled AV component in existence. We can all just go work at Sears and make a good living selling a $50 dollar remote that will do without the need of a dongle. Who cares that it doesn't have an RF base station to control the other equipment in the cabinet or closet, that's what IR repeaters are for. No one cares about two-way feed back on their remotes. No one needs a touch-screen remote, the Blu-Link will work just fine for them.

Thanks for showing me the light. I'm heading to Sears right now to fill out an application.
