So every new product has its bugs. I enjoy watching my favourite games and movies on HD but the Byond remote control simply wont let me control the volume! That means, that its stuck at a level(which i hope isnt max, cause its pretty low) so i have to control it via the tv.
I thought that it was only me but after some checking apparently its a issue right now with those who use Byond.
Hopefully it gets fixed soon and im keen to see what the aps button & how to use the very tempting usb slots are for! 
Do you have the same issue?

Hope this helps. Happy B.yond
But the sound from source is very low so i need to put the volume on the tv at high high levels. I understand that HD gives us superior video and AUDIO but this feels like taking a few steps back with sound.
