Solving the problem of never being able to find the remote

Sorry about the lack of updates but we are in the middle of our road trip and it has been tough to find any computers that allow us to upload photos.
Anyhow here(click on robot.avi) is a link to a rather cumbersome remote control they have developed in Montreal which will actually load movies for you as well as all the usual play/pause/ffwd/rwd functions.
Here is a link to more info, available of course in English or Francais.
