It really has nothing to do with "seeing what is on TV". It has to do with controlling your home theater equipment at the touch of a single-button (or sometimes a couple buttons). For someone that simply has a TV and DVD player....then maybe it isn't worth it. But for those of us who have invested a lot of money in high end home theaters.....it is definately worth it. For example, at the touch of a single button, my Axim (or a Pronto) can automatically turn on my TV, turn on my receiver, change inputs on the receiver, change inputs on the TV, power on the DVD player, and start the movie....and once I make my next home theater purchase it will even be able to dim my lights in this sequence as well. All of this is accomplished by pressing one single button. Tell me a regular old remote that can do this?

It's not a big deal to me to do all of this manually.....but it makes it much easier on my girlfriend, who never can figure out all my equipment.
