Customers are saying

Customers value the Media Remote for its ease of use, affordability, and functionality. They appreciate the convenience of controlling their Xbox without the need for a controller, especially for streaming shows. However, some users have expressed concerns about the remote's line-of-sight requirement and the need for direct pointing, as well as its build quality and use of infrared technology.

    The remote makes using the Xbox as a dvd player by giving a more traditional dvd player feel. The only issue I ran into is the remote has to be pointed very specifically at the Xbox for it there isn’t a direct line to the Xbox it doesn’t seem to register.
