Placeshifter/standalone needs Browser

Folks,

I just got back from my first business trip trying to carry my media with me...I finally got it to work, but it required my laptop connected through wireless, bridging to my HD200 through a shared wired connection...it worked OK, but not great...in my mind the key "missing ingredient" in the HD200 place shifter experience is the ability to accept hotel's "usage terms". Since the HD200 does not have a browser, there is no way to view the hotels or hot spots or ??? usage terms, agree and then turn on the internet connection. A simple browser interface would make the HD200 complete for a standalone remote media player...

I'm assuming I am correct and there is no way to do this on the current HD200...if I'm wrong please let me know. If I'm right and this is a missing feature, anyone know the best way to get feature feedback to the sage "powers that be"?

thanks,
mv

Most hotels I go to I can open a web page, accept the connection, then my connection is valid for a certain amount of time. So I can use the browser, accept the usage terms, then use whatever else I want that needs a connection, including placeshifter.

Yeah, that wasn't my experience at the Marriott Anaheim...it only activated the computer that "accepted". I accepted through the wired connection in the room, the HD200 couldn't get online when I swapped the wire to it. Laptop could get access and worked through both wired and wireless connection...ultimately I shared the internet connection by going wireless on the laptop, and then wired from laptop to HD200...
