[QUOTE="Pat Clark, post: 874525, member: 123421"] Too bad about no mouse support. You should try it some time -- when well-supported, it's far more convenient than a remote. Another aspect is that an RF transmission goes through walls and is more reliable in general than infrared. The top-bar provides most of the needed support, but scroll bars are quite helpful with lists, and an on-screen keyboard for text. And, of course, the Home Screen needs to be supported. :) Sadly, no skin I've seen allows for clicking on a timeline to fast forward or reverse -- a very handy use for a mouse. Even better is how Hulu Desktop works (and Windows Media Center if I'm not mistaken), where sliding the mouse along a timeline shows a preview of the video at that point. [/QUOTE]
