Dlink BOXEE remote pricing $39.99

cool! Anyone know if we can pair multiple remotes? There's two discrete seating areas in my living room so I'd like to leave a remote in each area.

I'd say Yes - I have had up to 7 different input devices running on the BBox and 5 of them were wireless

For those upset about the price, it does at least come with a USB RF dongle for that price as per the documentation: http://boxee.zendesk.com/entries/321872-remote-control

i wont buy this cuz it is completely useless in dark room like watching a movie or something if backlit was too expensive why not make the keys glow in the dark atleast

Would be awesome if a blank surface area on the remote can be used as a touchpad for controlling the cursor. This could make the boxee browser competitive against google tv. A wii-like cursor control would be much more friendly than a touchpad, but I'm not sure if it can be done well without needing to resort to IR.

And what is the deal with the lack of page up/down buttons? I suppose they can add something like a scrollbar in the UI that you can select to quickly scroll. Having a flat view of a few hundred movies is a joke, especially given the wealth of navigation choices from XBMC.

Nice but a 1/4 of the total price of the box sounds expensive...

oh well...

Can this remote be used with PC Boxee, not just the boxee box?

[espresso]

Has anyone gotten this working with a Boxee install on a Mac Mini?

Thanks!

Does anyone know where you can buy the remote up here in Canada?
