Rating:  - Workes great with mythtv
Bought it to use with my mythtv setup. Works great. The IR receiver is wonderful. I could control it with my regular TV (Sony SXRD) remote. The included remote is pretty good too. Nice feel to the buttons and feels comfortable to hold.
Rating:  - Unreliable driver, no customer service
OK hardware with a limited & unreliable driver. No customer service. I strongly recommend AGAINST the purchase of this remote.
Full review:
I am a professional software developer. I purchased this product to control a media PC running Beyond TV (on a dedicated Windows XP system). Key selling points were that the product advertised specific support for Beyond TV and also Girder (promixis.com) advertises support of the remote.
Initial impression was moderately ... Read More
Rating: - Probably the best remote for Linux on the market.
This is simply the best supported remote on Linux, pretty much any software project that allows the use of a remote will have at least the streamzap supported out of the box.

Also note that you can use any IR remote you want with the included receiver, in case you've got your eye on a regular universal ... Read More

This means that when a new version of an application is released, it will take several months for the next release of the StreamZap software to become compatable. Althougth Girder can be used to create new commands, it takes a long time and expert level ... Read More
Rating:  - Great Item; Limited Software Development
If you want to control over 100 different PC audio players (i.e. Winamp, Window Media Player, JetAudio, Foobar, etc) without sitting right in front of your monitor, the StreamZap does this very well. Installation is a snap, the infrared receiver that plugs into an available USB port is small, and the device is easy to configure with the included software. Four function buttons along the bottom of the remote can be setup to automatically launch programs. You get the basic controls of Play, stop, FF, REW, volume, ... Read More
