Green Button Remote For Vista [Posted on 2007-10-18]
I ordered this item Sunday night, Monday I got the confirmation email, Wednesday the product arrived. This was with "standard shipping" - I was expecting it to take at least a week if not more. Talk about quick service!
As far as the product itself is concerned, everything works as advertised. Plugged in the remote receiver, Vista detected it, installed drivers automatically (I was concerned since the packaging contained no software, no worries its driver is already built into Vista). All the functions on the remote worked first try.
I would highly recommend both this product and this company if you want a functional remote for Vista's Media Center.
Thanks again!

Works great with MCE with no tuner. [Posted on 2007-12-23]
I have Vista with MCE, but no tuner. I still enjoy watching movies and internet tv on my pc from my couch, and didn't enjoy getting up to the computer everytime I needed to change the volume, etc. I can do all that from my couch now with this remote. Would be nice if it was compatible with my other media players on my pc, but I can't complain. This fits my needs.
Media Center needs improvements to make this truly useful [Posted on 2008-02-24]
Pros: The remote works fine. Windows Media Center is pretty convenient for watching videos and movies. I have my computer hooked up to my TV and the interface works well for the TV. The build quality is decent and it looks nice enough.
Cons: Rewind/Forward buttons don't work for most of my videos. Apparently, Media Center can't do that with the most popular video formats i.e. DivX and Xvid. So, the remote loses half it's usefulness for me right there. This isn't exactly a shortcoming of the remote, but still relevant. So, if you're like me and have a ton of DivX/Xvid movies, you might want to keep this in mind.
Good but missing learning feature [Posted on 2008-06-24]
This product is pretty good for the price ... only problem for me was that it doesn't come with the learning feature. Meaning you can't have it learn how (or program it) to turn off your TV. I have my computer hooked up a flat screen and whenever I want to turn off the TV I have to actually use a different remote. It works on some models but apparently not on the one I got. Bummer. I searched the web for help but had little luck. Otherwise a good product.
