It is a good remote, but I do have one complaint: it is very easy to mistakenly try to use it upside down. I've grabbed the remote to fast forward through some commercials, only to see it begin rewinding. I realize I have the remote turned around and have to then fast forward even more to correct the mistake. It is difficult to determine the orientation of the remote while it is in your hand.
