ok I can see that. At that point I really think that it would have to come down to how you connect to the board and the ease of changing the settings. If you have to use some kind of proprietary connector to make these changes I think it would throw some people off of the board. But if you can make the connection quick and easy that would go along way for it. the days of the old sony remote I think really should go the way of the buffalo. In this day and age it's time for a better control like an app for a phone or something. Even a laptop that could plug in with just a usb cable and a simple easy to use program would be a step in the right direction.

But thats just my opinion on that
