Walt:

I think that you are 'right on the money' with this observation...

As someone who has been in the computer biz for 25+ years, I can confirm
that it has made managing the devices you mention much, much easier and
more painless.

I hadn't even though of the utility for other things (such as 'nice'
receivers). With the ubiquity of such features in a lot of computer
gear, it should be a relatively cheap add-on for many other devices.

This way, the rx could be placed in a network and operated from any device with a browser. This would be great for configuration purposes, as well as for remote operation. Given the size and cheapness of contemporary PC technology, the required additional hardware should be affordable and not require significant in-case space.
