Well,

Since we started a convo about RM in this thread I'm posting a question about it here... so I have a Comcast DTA and doing some research on this forum lead me to this:

http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=6408

Of course it is an RM file. And it seems as if this XMP protocol is nothing but trouble, reading thru some threads, so I figured now was as good a time as any to give RM a shot.

OF COURSE SUN's WEBSITE WON'T LET ME DOWNLOAD THE SUPPOSED FREE JRE (or JDK) v6. WTF.

So my question is simply -- will RM (with XMP support) work with JRE 5? The instructions for RM would seem to indicate "no", but I thought I would ask since I believe one can download JRE prior to v6 from other, non "Sun" websites. If not, I'm stuck again.

3FG -- I understand thousands of people do it everyday, and I am not questioning that it is a free download. I am saying that from Sun's website, when i try to download, the message I get states:

"Your download transaction cannot be approved. Contact Customer Service."

I have XP SP2 on two different computers... one has IE 7 and one has IE8 and I get the same error message. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED THE FIRST LINK YOU PROVIDED.

YOUR SECOND LINK WORKED! Thank you very much for that. I could not find that myself, but clearly the "manual download mode" is what I needed. I haven't installed yet... will do that now.

I wasn't trying to be "difficult" and I wasn't questioning the integrity of the instructions, link, Java, or the fact that it is free ... I was frustratred because the link from the RM setup instructions just didn't work for me, that's all. I greatly appreciate you providing me with a supplemental link, which DID work. So, thank you.
