AR Remotes on Clearance at BB

Not an employee or even a stockholder, but thought I'd pass it on:

XSight Touch is clearance priced at $135 and the Color at $50.

Pretty amazing deals for full featured programmables that rival Harmonys. Brick and mortar pricing only.

Remote Central review

I'm looking to standardize the remotes in 3 locations in my home. One of the requirements is RF capability. The XSight Touch was at the top of the list - at least until I found out the RF stations weren't addressable so only 1 per home.

If that wasn't the case I'd be ordering these today. The reviews have been quite good.

Unfortunately my RF requirements will result in a significantly higher cost (probably the URC MX-980).

Great price on those remotes, but the button layout just isn't all that condusive to sagetv. For me, I've gotta have the next and prev buttons near the arrow keys, as well as ChUp and ChDn (which are used as page up and page down). I would spend far too much time relocating my thumb from the transport controls, to the directional controls.
