Similar but not the same. Basicaly, RV is when you remote "view" real time places in real time with your counciousness. OBE is astral travelling with your "body double". I hope I can add more but I forgot what I read about it. The info on how they actually differ can be found on the article section. Sorry.
What do you meam by your double body. Ive read recently one way of becoming invisible to the astral is to see yourself with your eyes closed (not everyone can do this though) and imagine dissapearing. I guess this would be your astral body your seeing.
Not too sure about this right but what I thought first of being astral was we were only in spirit form, what makes me think this is that one night I had some marijuana and my feelings besame very lucid, so lucid that when imagined a huge ball above me spinning and gripped onto it I managed to slide out for a second. (IMG:

What makes me think that is Ive died before at college, once again had some marijuana and went through an over powring 'whitey' as people call it and accidentally let go, passed through my head and several planes before I got to be sitting on a bench across from where I was focusing to sit down, so I was now in spirit form.
We have many bodies as far as I gather and seen some of them as i've written about...
http://www.sacred-magick.org/index.php?showtopic=3228Another time I can remember when I had some pesky spirits here, was that they tried to chuck me out of my body from near the roof of my house or through my conservertory window. When this happened I saw myself in picture form, which I would think is my mental or light body (dont suppose anyone else knows?), being astral.
