Logitech Revue with Google TV

[alcatoe]

OK, what has everyone heard about the up and coming Logitech Revue with Google TV? Any plans for C4 to release a driver? I just came across this tongiht and have not researched it much. Not sure if the keyboard is IR or RF - I would think RF. I sure does look cool! For $300, you seem to get a lot of fun!!!

The preorder sales for the Revue is already sold out on the Logitech website. I wonder when this device will launch and what local retailers it will be offered at.

The keyboard is RF. Logitech's harmony remote technology is built-in, and controls the connected devices via IR. Communication with Dish boxes are over a "specially-crafted" protocol, and is exclusive to dish/logitech - Sony TVs with google built in wont have the capability at first.

Hard to tell what place in the C4 world it will have.

Looks like this device is now 4 sale at Best Buy: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Logitech+-+Revue+with+Google+TV/1257136.p?id=1218243226608&skuId=1257136&st=Revue&contract_desc=null#BVRRWidgetID. Anyone bought it yet and tried to intigrate it with C4? I might buy one this week to try it out.

Looks good, let us know how it goes.

I'm hoping somebody like CytexOne will create a slick driver/integration approach for switched video systems similar to what they did with the Slingbox.

I'd pay handsomely for it...

most reviews I've heard have the same issues that these guys have.

My family had an early christmas today and I ended up with a Logitech Revue. I just plugged it in and am setting it up, anyone else working on this thing? so far I plan on using my C4 remote like the revue is not there and just pick up the keyboard once it comes on. anyone have any other thoughts on better integration?

Thinking about getting one too, but just missed Costco's $50 off price of $229 now they are back at $279.

As for using the revue with C4 I'm planning on using the IR codes from a logitech harmony remote control as Revue is in device database. From that I can build my own C4 IR driver. The revue is RF for the keyboard, but has IR reciever and IR blaster for controlling cable box/amplifier.
