Tips for getting the most out of your remote:

• You can use the "OK" button (big button in the center for those of you who are a bit slow) to go to the previous channel while watching live TV.

• Press "Skip" during live or recorded TV to skip ahead 30 seconds. Not sure why Microsoft didn't make this like 26 seconds - when you skip past all of the commercials (usually 30/60 seconds each) you always end up just a few seconds into your show and have to hit "replay" to get to the right spot.

• "Replay" will go back 7 seconds.

• "Enter" is a completely worthless button as it does the same thing as "OK"

You can reprogram the Volume and TV power buttons by doing this:

• Aim MCE remote at your AV remote (2/3" apart)

• Press & hold "DVD Menu" + "OK" on MCE remote until lights go off

• press Vol- on the MCE remote (lights should blink once)

• Press and hold Vol- on the AV remote until lights on MCE lights blink twice (if it blinks 4 times there was a problem)

• Do the same procedure for Vol+
