Dammit. I want one. Hey, CG, if you get one and get to keep it and don't like it, give a brother a hookup =) From what I read, they only whitebox remotes, so you have to wait for some manufacturer to want to include the remote in their product.

I went to their website & looked around (did you, Matt??); is tvCompass selling these remotes, or are they licensing the software to other manufacturers, who will customize it & wrap it up in their own skins? I ask because when I went to their "Where to buy" page, it had a link to an "Acoustic Research ARUU449 Universal Smart Remote Control" being sold on Amazon.com (complete with tvCompass' Amazon affiliate ID). The Acoustic Research remote seems to have all the functions of the remote featured on tvCompass' site, but it's nowhere near as good-looking: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000XTP3XW Yes, very cool, but I’m confused… I went to their website & looked around (did you, Matt??); is tvCompass selling these remotes, or are they licensing the software to other manufacturers, who will customize it & wrap it up in their own skins?
