Customers are mixed about the performance of the remote control. Some mention that it works great, even when not pointed at the Tivo, and is simple to program. However, others say that it quit working a few days shy of a month, works erratically, and loses functionality over time.

Customers are mixed about the responsiveness of the remote control. Some mention that it doubled the responsive of their TiVo, allowing for fast and easy use of Pandora, YouTube, and the TiVa search features. However, others say that it works erratically and is not as responsive as with the receiver's own remote.

Customers are mixed about the connectivity of the remote control. Some mention that the bluetooth feature is top notch and doesn't require the remote to be pointed at the TV. The Bluetooth connection is more responsive than the infrared, and the setup was trouble free. However, some say that the Bluetooth stopped working and the whole thing stopped working. The keyboard requires a Bluetooth connection, which means you have to have an adapter.
"...This is where the Bluetooth actually comes in handy, otherwise we're all in the habit of pointing the remote at the tv through habit & muscle..." Read more

One of the things I HATED about my TIVO was the sluggish response to remote commands. I just assumed that the HD picture quality was stressing out the unit's CPU and making things slow. But when I got this new remote and plugged it in (easy) I discovered the REAL reason you need to buy this remote: SPEED SPEED SPEED! The keyboard is just a bonus!
WHY THIS REMOTE IS WELL WORTH THE $60
1) This remote easily doubled the responsiveness of my TIVO. I would have paid twice as much for the speed difference alone! TIVO obviously has issues with it's IR functionality and not with its CPU power.
2) This remote is bluetooth (radio) rather than InfraRed (light) so I no longer have to point the remote at the TV; I don't even have to be in the same room as the TIVO to control it.
3) I didn't really care about the keyboard until I got this remote, but now that I can easily use the search function I find myself using it MUCH more than I used to. Search is now easy and painless instead of painfully slow and seriously frustrating.
4) This remote is more compact and the keys are much easier to thumb one-handed and the remote is better balanced in your hand as a result.
POSSIBLE NEGATIVES
1) Being smaller this remote will be even easier to lose.
2) It feels surprisingly heavy; it is easily the heaviest of my sizable remote control collection.
3) Being bluetooth, in theory it will probably go through batteries faster than the stock remote (this is a guess based on experience with other radio remotes and isn't proven yet).
Did I mention SPEED SPEED SPEED!?!?
UPDATE: Only a few days shy of a month the remote quit working while I was using it. No water, no drops, just quit. Between that, the honeymoon period being over, and the backlight being worthless I am downgrading to 4 stars.
I ordered a new remote and returned the broken one but I dropped the rating because for something to get five stars from me it has to be nearly perfect.
Update#2: It took me three remotes to get one that worked and kept working. The last one has held up quite well and I still say this remote makes such a speed difference it is worth it for that alone. I bumped my review back to 5 stars.
No matter which TiVo model I've used, one of my favorite features has always been the Wishlists. However, it's also been one of the most tedious features, as it used to require clicking through the on-screen keyboard until you spelled out the keywords you wished to set up.
When I got my TiVo Premieres, one of the main things I was looking forward to was the ability to use the TiVoSlide remote, which offers a full keyboard on the remote and greatly speeds the entry of alphabetical characters.
I didn't want to use the TiVoSlide as my main remote, as I prefer using my Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote with Color Touchscreen and Logitech Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote Control remotes with their advanced features such as Activities. I planned to buy one TiVoSlide remote to use for both of my TiVo Premiere DVRs, only using it when I needed to enter text too cumbersome to use the onscreen keyboard for.
Unfortunately, TiVo found a way to foil that plan. The TiVoSlide requires a Bluetooth adapter be connected to the TiVo and the slide-out keyboard only works with the Bluetooth adapter that remote is paired with. Ah well, best-laid plans go astray, as they say.
Still, I found the TiVoSlide to be so convenient I finally broke down and bought a second one for the other TiVo Premiere. Entering strings of text is truly a breeze with the slide-out keyboard and the rest of the remote works very well also. If you are already used to a standard TiVo remote, you will have no trouble switching to the TiVoSlide as it is laid out almost exactly like the original TiVo remote, albeit in a condensed size.
Programming my televisions in the TiVoSlide remote was very easy, just as with the original TiVo remote.
After using the TiVoSlide for just six months, I honestly don't know how I ever did without it. I really think that TiVo needs to start packaging these as a standard item with all TiVos. The only reason I did not rate it with five stars is that it can't be easily switched back and forth between TiVos without also moving the Bluetooth adapter.
