0Guardando oltre il telecomando-tastiera Boxee

Per molto tempo ho cercato per l'ideale HTPC telecomando. Voglio un telecomando abbastanza standard, ma con una tastiera QWERTY sul retro, o all'interno di una parte ribaltabile/scorribile. Ho monitorato le opzioni in [int­link id=“46” type=“post”]un articolo di Jan-2010[/intlink], e alla fine mi sono ordinato un telecomando Boxee qualche mese fa. Il boxee è un'eccellente tastiera wireless, ma purtroppo, Boxee hanno scelto di andare il "percorso di Apple" (aka storditi) sul lato non qwerty. Ci sono un totale di 7 Pulsanti, non of which is a power but­ton. There is also no “back up” type but­ton. This makes the boxee pretty use­less for Media Cen­ter 7.I decided that if I was going to get yet anoth­er remote, I wanted it to offer addi­tion­al fea­tures, as well as address­ing the prob­lems with the boxee. The 2 most use­ful options are to be pro­gram­mable (i.e. uni­ver­sal) and to fea­ture an RF com­muni­ation to the PC, so it can be tucked away out of sight. The remote I was most inter­ested in is the Philips Home Con­trol Dual / uWand, but I can­’t find any­where to buy that in the Regno Unito.  I’ve seen some pos­it­ive reviews of the Scheda Motorola NYX and loc­ated a retail­er that ships to the Regno Unito.  £40 isn’t cheap for a remote con­trol, but the nyx­Board does offer both RF and uni­ver­sal­ity, as well as clearly hav­ing the required but­tons. I’ve ordered one, and am optim­ist­ic it will do the job. Its just a shame its a bit chunky, one of the nice things about the boxee remote is how slim and slick look­ing it is.
