I forkd over $250 this past summer and got the Vave 100. I have been emailing them with no responses, now I know why. I never had any problems with it and everything worked well and looked good. It's a shame that they are gone because the remote really works well, as a media center remote and a universal, allowing me to setup every TV, DVD, and cable box in my house on the remote.

End of the road for Ricavision?

Chris Lanier noted that the Ricavision remote had been delayed again but it looks worse than that. CEPro

Vista, in its entirety, has been a flop. You can argue whether said flopping is based in reality or perception, but the bottom line is, its adoption rate is on the slow side, and there is a generally negative attitude toward it. Given Microsoft’s bumbling with regards to Media Center, the presence of a similar posture towards Side Show is not at all surprising.

No Side Show enabled remote can save Media Center. It will take something far more drastic. Issues related to the lack of HD television content and missing support for ripped DVDs must be addressed. Everything else is just "rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic".

I think microsoft should make consumer products or have solid partnerships for the new tools that have been created, one reason for me to upgrade to vista (media center) was sideshow
