I may be in the minority, but I won't buy remote control devices that require access to the internet. I am not trying to control my devices outside of my house unless I take the intranet iface and expose it myself. A bit off topic, but I am hoping one day the always-on in-home server takes off for the average user so that my ability to expose my in-home server to the public internet is no longer a minority skill.
