    Do not buy this product, August 22, 2006
By user (Potomac, MD)
Sony always makes nice remotes but you need to have a sony-brand PC to install updates and access full-functionality. Can't play Microsoft media center recorded television shows unless you use a Sony PC. Can't even install bug-fixes or new firmware without Sony Brand PC. Sony telephone tech-support guy agreed that it's "silly". Have to convert the files (to MP4 for example) before you're able to view files. Video streaming quality is poor and menus are slow to navigate.

I'm not a fan of Sony VAIO pc's and I should've known better than try another VAIO product. I bought two of these and they're both going back.

Stay far away from these!
