Greater range and more convenient than an infrared remote!
Features:
Vista Media Center RF Remote Control!
The RF Remote for Windows Vista is a sleek and powerful RF remote control designed specifically for use with Vista's Media Center multimedia software. It provides more range, convenience and flexibility than infrared remotes.
Range
The RF Remote for Windows Vista provides a range of up to 90 ft (about three times the distance of infrared remotes).
Convenience
Unlike an infrared remote, this RF remote does not require line of sight to the RF receiver. This allows you to manage Media Center from more areas within the room or even from other areas of your house.
Flexibility
Since the RF signal works through walls and furniture, you have more flexibility in locating the PC that will be used to run Media Center. For example, you can place the PC inside an entertainment center cabinet or within an AV closet and still easily control Media Center with the remote.
No software is needed. Just plug the USB receiver into your PC and it works within seconds.
Compatibility
This remote control is designed specifically for use with Windows Vista Media Center.
The RF remote is compatible with the IR blaster that might have been supplied as part of your Media Center PC hardware bundle. The IR blaster allows your PC to control other AV equipment such as a TV, VCR, etc. by sending IR signals to these devices.
