from Spudlock from Eugene, OR, www.circuitcity.com
not a good remote for someone with a tv, surroundsound and cable box.

it even works on our tv whenever we are watching our cable.works great for what we need it for.very happy!

doesnt control amp/stereo system; no cable box control; limited controls for non-xbox components; summary: this is a good alternative to using your controller for your media playback needs.

for me the greatest part is the input button (my tv makes it difficult for me to change from cable to av input) the only flaws this has is that its not an universal remote.
from www.amazon.com
you do not need to control a a/v receiver, dvd player (other than xbox 360), or a digital cable box (tivo, dvr, etc.)
