Ricavision multifunction remote controls

Ricavision is working on a couple of new remote controls designed for Windows Vista.

The one on the left is a Vista remote meant to work with your PC. The middle remote is a Multifunction model, designed to control your PC and basic TV operations like powering up and down, flipping channels and controlling the volume. The guy all the way on the right is a universal remote control that can be programmed to control our PC, TV, PVR, VCR, or anything else you might want to throw at it.

Ricavision's also got some fancy Sideshow capable remotes in the works, and I'm much more excited about those. While these multifunction remotes let you control your PC and TV, the Sideshow remote will include an LCD display that lets you control your PC even when you're television is turned off, allowing you to check your program guide, schedule recordings, or even listen to music without powering up your TV or monitor.
