Have been following the BIG TV stories quite religiously so far, looks like they have able to gain quite a bit of traction from the media initiatives.
Believe me even I was as excited as you were to get BIG TV home. As a result of which I have done quite bit of research at my end by visiting various broadband and DTH forums. Reading at various posts all I can say is the sentiments are skewed positively towards BIG TV. All said and done one would only come to know the real pic when the installation engineers come and bless me with BIG TV J
Now with the kind of anticipation that I had for Big tv looks like I can help you out in the remote issue, seems like a BIG TV Fan has actually gone out and posted and the functionality of the remote with picture, neat job must say J
