This remote works great for watching Hulu or streaming videos on your HDTV. I particularly like the learn feature. I taught it how to turn my TV on and off by pointing the TV remote at it and pressing the power button.

I bought one of these remotes for my HT PC. The main reason I bought it was because of the mouse feature. I was hoping to replace my wireless trackball. What I found is that it is difficult to click on small objects using the mouse function. When trying to maximize a window, it is very easy to accidentally click on the close X. Drag and drop is also very tricky. Resizing a window is difficult. You have to move the mouse very precisely to get the resize arrows to appear. There is also no scroll function. If you are viewing a long page, you will have to grab the scroll bar with the mouse and drag it down. The lack of the middle mouse button also hurts the functionality as a mouse. I use the middl mouse button a lot for scrolling and opening and closing tabs. This leaves me with is a universal remote that has a partially useful mouse. It is easier and more functional for me to go back to using a wireless trackball and keyboard for controling the my PC

This is about the only remote around that has a built in mouse, which is a must for computers in the living room. My last remote, previous model, lasted two years. The current model is less expensive with more features. The screen is nice, but I think it would be more useful if it showed recored tv info instead of just music. The backlit keys is a big improvement. Only thing I'm disspointed in is the soft key press and slightly sticky volume channel keys. I hope that they last longer than my last remote. Still, I highly recommend this product.
