Thoughts on EZ remote?

Well they showed the easy remote on the tech chat and it looked ok.
Anyone have any thoughts about it or have one already?
It looks like it's non PVR only though.

Any links to any pictures of this?

I like the PVR Platnium remote much better :)

but for $20, an easier replacement for the kids than the $50 remotes.

With the price only being $2 cheaper on this remote than the IR universal blue button remote, I dont know of a retailer that would want to sell these at such a low profit, would not make any money after the shipping. I would be surprised to see many of these for $19, the retail price. It does not make sense how this is retailed at such a lower price being the other remote only costs $2 more.

Really, the blue button universal IR can be found for $21? Where? I've looked and can only find them for $49. :P

So far I have only been able to buy 1 from their warehouse it was not as easy as I expected it to be to use. Jacob S you know DISH will charge $14.95 for shipping so they don't care if a dealer can afford to sell the product after they pay to get it shipped to them.

Well I am not saying that the blue button remote can be found for $2 more than the EZ remote, but if it only costs the retailer that much more then I do not see why there is that close of a difference in the retail price.
