using the browser.. can you set favorites so you can use the remote to access sites easily without using its mouse or typing in the web address every time

Yes, in fact that's the only thing that makes the using the web browser worth while. No flash so internet videos won't play.

Yes that is correct. sorry for responding so late. I guess they did it that way because of the way you are holding the remote. Your thumb is right next to the left click, you get used to it :)

Hi Ryan, No you can't. This is not an overly intelligent device. It essentially acts as a gateway between whatever hard drive you plug into it and the net, allowing you to access your content remotely through pogoplug.com.

Hey Mr. Samuel, perhaps, but not easily. The "scripts" are setup to use the McTiVia as wireless gateway and the ip address is configured during setup. You might be able to redirect it to another McTiVia unit but I am pretty sure it will not be easy. Lee running on a Mac

Yes! It's not the worlds best web UI, but it allows you to do some amount of zooming, etc. It also has an API which you can use to integrate in with your own internal monitoring if you have such a beast.

I had this problem with Windows 7 media center as well as using XBOX 360's as extenders. After working with Logitech support for months... They finally got the Favorites to include the "." in the channels. But as far as direct input it still is not working. And the favorites only work correctly with the XBOX 360. I even have tried to learn the "." into the Logitech remote, but it will not accept the programming. As it stand now, I either use the Favorite buttons or change channels through the guide. Logitech was pretty stumped by this. They were able to get the "." to show up during direct input, but it did not actually work and would still complete the direct input without the "."

If you mean the Left and Right Small Buttons...then yes...you can use those for Forward and Back on sites.

If you click on the "Smart" button on the remote, one of the icons is for web browsing. I've used it and it works (as long as you setup your T.V. ) on your home network. Since I don't have a keyboard attached to the T.V. it was cumbersome using selecting one letter at a time from the virtual keyboard and remote control, so I hardly ever use it.

Sort of. You can use the remote to scroll through images but it is small. I think there is one on the back of the unit as well. I would disagree with the other answer about this being junk. It will require a firmware upgrade if you purchase it.

I have done two presentations where I had links to videos on youtube that I wanted to show to illustrate my points. In both occassions, as long as I was connected to the internet, the remote clicked on the link and was able to allow me to move right to the video. I really love this remote and the only thing that took me some time to manage was the sensitivity of the mouse. Once I started practicing with it, I am very comfortable with it now. It's my "go to" remote when I'm presenting!

I believe you can. There is a browser on it. But we do not use it for Internet.

No, you have to access it via "menu" on the remote, which will bring up settings to the device you are using. The aspect can be changed thru the device, but it is several clicks on the remote.

Not in the slightest. If you choose to access the web from it, it will load the simplest web pages very very slowly. I love mine, but it's definitely as basic as they come.

Yes it can be accessed either way. You choose when you do your setup. I did not set mine up for remote access but I am going to change my setup when the holidays are over and I have time to do it. Good luck with your device. I love mine.

Not sure, though I do use chrome browser. It seems to work well with chrome.

Yes you can. A keyboard will pop up and you can use your remote to navigate to the letters. But there are also pre-set internet sites you can just select. You can also download an app to use your smartphone as a remote and sometimes that can be easier to use.

yes, but you'll need to call the tech no. for setup. I had trouble with some websites with Firefox, but it works well with Google Chrome.
