I’d give this ATV remote a galaxy of stars: 10? 20? 1/0?
I’ve plowed through the standard Apple TV remotes for far too long: Slick, swank, cute, and user-non-friendly and anti-intuitive. Navigating became a test of my impatient non-patience.
Example: The Apple remotes’ “slides”(?) = PITA.
So, when I read a review for the “Function 1” gun …
I ordered one from “Amazon” … and I was/I am quite pleased.
All of the “Function101’s” activities are intuitive, e.g., selecting an action is a push on the “OK” button. Screen “Up” is up, volume increase is “+”, etc. As one would hope and expect.
Pick ‘er up n use it.
I spoke to “Mike” at Tech Support … his verbal directions were succinct, step-by-step, detailed, professional, patient, easy to follow … AND correct.
And he actually returned my Sunday’s rambling voice mail. Added points.
Alert the media!
The “bottom” bottom line is: Get one, - it’s reasonably priced - and you shou!d like it.
“outdoors1016”’s written tutorial is your visual guide! … as are the following ones. Lotsa useful input.
