Re: This sounds GREAT....

Not being funny but:
Why or how is this different or better than showshifter?
I have a copy of showshifter which came with my X10 ir/rf remote.
Never used it, but it has a plugin for Digiguide (so problems with
EPG), it supports loads of ir senders and remotes, etc.
Is Snapstream any better? if so why?
