IR remote is more important for me, since I want to be able to use one universal remote for all HT components.
Is it true that the IR remote and/or IR receiver has a very limited range? Users say IR response is inconsistent from 2.5 meters or more away, even at a direct line of sight, using fully charged batteries.
On my WDTV, the IR remote can be pointed at the ceiling from more than 3 meters away and still produce normal response.
Minix seems to like cramming in the high tech features while ignoring the basics.
