Im not sure why the OP doesnt understand why putting a remote control on a phone is useful. Joe Flatley do you use a tv, are you changing the channels with your mind? if so where was the review for that, cuz shit i know id be interested in consolidating my remote controls with my phone. its already just as functional as one of those all in ones from logitech/marantz. if it isnt useful why make a post? what the heck, this is the second or third story on this device, and its now that you decide to deride the product. is it the addon you dont like, i dont understand the motivation to POST then to say its SILLY, w.e.
not having to do anything but use your phone to turn your home entertainment system on is a seamless idea. the implementation here is bulky, and the IR should be built in, they should do this for devices that have the IR built in already who knows, they probably do. but joe try to make sure you dont look like a tard when you post, posting a story, drawing attention to it, then calling it silly, makes you look confused.
@shadymilkman You're obviously very upset about my post for some reason, so let me assure you -- I do not control the TV with my mind. I use a universal remote that happily controls all my AV devices, has physical buttons, and doesn't need an oversized dongle to work. Neither do I have to stop texting, talking on the phone, or playing iDracula when it's time to change channels. And you know what? It suits me just fine.
@Joseph L Flatley im relaxed, its just that this device doesnt suit your personal needs, and its reflected in your post, it would seem to me that you would have more control over what you write about. if its silly then why spend time writing about it.
none of what you said in your reply was in the post. all im sayin is the information you chose to share with the world, is subjective, the information you shared with me was informative and objective. had you included these pitfalls of the device in your front facing post then the justification for it being silly would be understood.
"I'm moving to a small studio and for some reason the cable connection is in an awkward place and I need a way to transmit HD quality video and audio no more than 20 feet away. What is the best wireless HDMI transmitter / receiver for this situation? Thanks!"
