  3. Re:My old recevier had this on Airborne Mouse · · Score: 1

    I still have this receiver unfortunately. This is just another example of my preferring a keyboard to a mouse. There is nothing worse than coming to a loud point in a movie and having to fumble with the damn egg trying to center on the volume down button on the on screen display before you wake up the neighbors. Then you have to wait for the damn OSD to time out and disappear. It really takes away from the movie watching experience.
