Like yourself I just wanted the basic functions. I found this, http://www.meritline.com/wireless-cy...--p-42402.aspx, and figured that at $9 including shipping, even if it didn't work I wouldn't be too tore up about it. It works perfectly. And since buying it I see that it is the same unit that others sell for much more, just with a different casing, color or name plate.

P.S. Even though the description says that it doesn't include batteries, it does.

P.S.S. This site is also a great source for other cheap, Chinese stuff. Sometimes that's all you need. I bought some HDMI cables for my new HDTV that were just $3 for a 6' cable. Those cables sell at Best Buy for around $20.
