4.0 out of 5 stars
A review to clear up some details...,

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote (Video Game)
I put a great deal of interest in my purchases. With a lot of extra down-time at work and an internet connection, I find myself reviewing EVERYTHING before I buy it. And only after I am very impressed and convinced by many positive reviews will I take out my credit card. But this product, the Microsoft XBOX360 Media Remote, was one exception having read many bad reviews and deciding to purchase it anyway. Let me tell you...
This remote is PERFECT if... 1. You would like one, easy-to-use remote to control both basic TV and an Xbox 360 that doubles as your DVD player. 2. The only buttons you would need for the TV are: Channels, Volume (TV speaker/output control only), Numerical channel input, Muting, *INTPUT SELECTION* (yes, it CAN switch between your TV's inputs), Return (to toggle between 2 TV channels), and Power. 3. You do not need specialized/advanced buttons found on a OEM remote or advanced learning remote for the TV. 4. You do not need to control a A/V receiver, DVD player (other than XBOX 360), or a digital cable box (Tivo, DVR, etc.) 5. You are on a budget but would still like a quality remote. If you can say yes to all or most, then don't hesitate to grab one of these remotes. You will be completely satisfied. Especially with immediate access to the tactile DVD buttons versus the 360's annoying on-screen DVD navigation. For this feature it is almost worth the $30 alone. P.S. I also own a Logitech Harmony 880 for the living room which I highly recommend for anyone not fitting into the catagory mentioned above.

I got one of these and here are some tips to making this puppy work.
-The list of codes are online at xbox.com -You don't actually need the codes anyway because you can scan for them. -To program your remote through the scan method: 1. Press and hold tv and ok buttons at the same time. 2. The display will blink and only the number pad on the bottom will remain lit. 3. Press the ch/pg up button until your tv turns off. Do not hold the button down just tap it every few seconds. 4. When the tv does turn off press the tv button on the remote to lock in the code. 5. If only some of the buttons for the tv work or they are inaccurate repeat the process. There are several codes for each brand of tv and some may not work for all the buttons. -If the remote doesn't work on your xbox go the the system settings -> console settings -> remote settings. There will be a choice of both controllers or remote only. Select remote only and exit the screen. At this point the controller may work. On some of the remotes only the guide button will work at this point. Got back into the settings and turn it to both controllers again. This should do the trick. For my remote I had to toggle the settings on a off a few times until it works. Seems like a software problem with the xbox to me. Now that the controller works I love it. I watch a lot of netflix on my xbox and the controller works really well for it. The difficulty in troubleshooting combined with the lack of detail in the instruction manual lead this controller to be problematic. Hopefully anyone who has one has benefited from this post.

If you use your XBox 360 to watch DVDs, I definitely recommend taking look at this remote. It makes moving through your DVD easy and "normal".
Yes, you can use the standard controller to access the DVD menu items - but it's a royal pain to move through the various menus and sub-menus to get to some of the items. Also, it's not very intuitive for non gamers to page through to the items. In comparison, this controller is incredible easy. it looks like and acts like any other TV remove. You have the standard buttons that everybody knows how to use - play, pause, fast forward, rewind. If someone walks into the room, you don't have to page through a menu quickly - you just hit the pause button. The controller is a nice size, too - large, easy to use buttons. Yes, we have a wireless Xbox regular controller - we like to have a fully wireless living room. So it's not that we gain "wireless control" that we didn't have before. Really, though, with all the various DVDs we watch, it is so nice to be able to hit those control buttons to have the DVD do exactly what you need. This is especially true with exercise videos where you're moving to specific scenes and segments, not just watching something through in a stream from start to finish. The easy-access buttons are definitely key there. Highly recommended!
