Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Streamzap PC Remote Control
Customer Review: adequate but nothin to write home about
Summary: 4 Stars
i bought this remote in order to replace my hp media center remote that crapped out on me, for no apparent reason. the remote is a good buy, considering the price. it is a little slow in responding, but overall as long as you dont have a twitchy trigger finger, and dont start rapidly pushing buttons like crazy, then your remote will work just fine. i want to give this remote 3.5 stars, but they dont have that option. but yeah, its worth the money if you really need a remote for your comp, or laptop. and the macrobuttons are sweet, i use em all the time for opening and closing programs.Customer Review: Good product, limited uses
Summary: 4 Stars
The remote itself works very well with my new computer. Range is great, and all the functions seem to work well. I am still experimenting with it, but don't expect it to be able to completely control all your computer's functions. It has 4 hotkeys (to open programs, etc.)as well as channel, volume, and play functions, so it is good for watching movies and listening to music. The mouse control function is cumbersome, and navigating through song libraries and folders is very difficult. Overall, a good product, if a bit limited.Customer Review: Great Product for the Money
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this little gadget. I listen to a lot of internet radio streams and got tired of hearing the same commercials over and over, so now I just mute it. If I want to change streams-zap. I gave it 4 Stars because the software can't keep up with all the player updates. So I don't update as often. It will still work with the newer versions in my experience with Winamp, but you might have a few glitches. Write an e-mail to the manufacturer with player version and they will work on it. A great product for the price!Customer Review: Works well for what it is.
Summary: 4 Stars
I got the Streamzap to control a PC I'm using as a glorified DVD player. It works as advertised, but has some limitations. The biggest issue is that the directional buttons are only four-way, so moving the cursor on the screen is a pain. Also, when using Windows Media Player to watch DVD's, the directional buttons don't work to navigate the menu, forcing me to switch to mouse mode. I set the programmable buttons to start media player, switch to full screen, and switch to mouse mode - which works well for me.Customer Review: Works exceptionally well with Myth TV
Summary: 4 Stars
If I'm not mistaken, the developers of Myth TV use this remote. It was recognized and configured with no problems. I did have to customize some buttons, but it was a simple modification to the .liirc file. The only complaint I have about this remote is that the clip on the battery cover ended up breaking. This is partially my fault as I fidget with clips, but it's a bit flimsy to begin with.
