Keyspan ERV2

$49.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the "live tv" button on the remote does not cause media center to go to live tv on my system.
from www.amazon.com
often times i find myself pointing it at the tv as if it were infrared, because it wasn't registering button presses.
from burntham77, www.newegg.com
pros: due to this being an rf remote, it does not interfere with anything else in my home theater setup, like the ps3 or xbox 360.
from www.amazon.com
this thing does everything as you'd expect it to, and then works using rf so you don't have to be aiming it at the computer/tv all the time.
from Siegeshot, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: keyspan makes quality remote controls, but at sub 50$, dont expect the monsters that come with high end tv's.

i could not find a remote for the tv i owned and needed the remote to be able to play games on it.
