    Sorry folks, I'm not going to shell out several hundred dollars for a stinking remote. And I doubt that many readers of /. will.

    If someone knows where I can see some mid-priced scanner comparative reviews, I'm all ears.

    What about my RF bose remote? Neither of the products (or any other remote AFAIK) support bose systems. I think the pronto mentioned rf functionality, but that is only with it's own base unit (for emulating rf with ir products). Does anyone know of a remote that is compatible with bose systems?

    The products don't support Bose with good reason. These remotes are meant for relatively high-end or better mid-level systems, which Bose isn't.
