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.

    Annoying to Use

    The price is great and the button layout is very good, but this remote is extremely frustrating to use. This remote has unmatched requirement for precision when you're trying to use it. If youre more than 10° off the center line when pointing the remote at the Xbox it's just not going to work. I know the specific degrees because I got so frustrated one day that I use my phone's compass to measure it. 10° to either side and the input wouldn't reach the xbox. My Xbox is an open space so it's not like it's being obstructed. I've probably had this remote for two or three months and I am already considering buying a different one.

    Thought it was going to be great until I found out it doesn't actually power the console on.
