Hadn't seen any mention of this in the forums, and thought I'd share. Apparently D-Link, the manufacturer of the Boxee Box, intends to sell this remote by itself, as well as bundle it with the box. Seems to me it'll fit in quite nicely with LinuxMCE, barring any proprietary shenanigans.

Thanks for the heads-up. Looking back, I do remember skimming a few mentions of the zero-kb problem, but the inability to pair the device sort of served as a diversion.

After several failed attempts at installing the orbiter by way of the on-screen notification that my MD detects my PDA, I found an entry in the wiki saying that the PIN to use is 1234 if prompted, yet when I enter 1234, it fails due to incorrect passcode. Has this PIN been changed?

I was wondering if anyone had one of these, and if so, have you had any luck getting it to work with LinuxMCE. I have a Vista 20P board, and I was originally looking at the 7845i Internet Communicator, to connect my security panel to my LAN, until I found this:
