Works very well - all buttons are there as you would expect - all very
responsive, and better than Pronto for FF RW etc. when watching recorded
stuff. Only little gripe with it is that when scrolling through channels
i.e. up button it can send more commands than you expected and you can go
racing past a channel when you let go of the up button.

How does this remote do as a replacement for a Sky+ control - any good?
