Great and Fun!

I bought this for my Media Center PC because it was such a pain to always have to sit next to the TV to try and do routine maintenance. With this, I can sit on my couch and do all the things that I want. It may take me longer to wave the remote around....

Excellent Computer Remote Not Great as a Vizio TV Remote

I love the functionality in this remote and the way it interacts with our PC. The universal remote portion and learning function has not been great with my Vizio TV. The manual didn't include any codes for Vizio TVs and I haven't been able to get the...
