Loved it. Makes searching a lot easier. Easy install. Worked like a charm for me for about 18 hours... then my dog ate it.. Literally.

The TiVo Slide Remote has been so easy to use. It is very similar to the other TiVo remotes as to where the buttons are located. Only this remote is smaller in size. It fits in my hand comfortably, as do all the TiVo remotes, but it contains a full slide out QWERTY keypad. This has come in handy multiple times when I am searching for programs. I just type in the name and it shows up on the screen. No more navigating the onscreen keyboard. It also lights up if there is not enough ambient light, which I have found a nice change from my previous remotes. Another nice feature is I can use the remote without it pointing directly at the TV. I dont have to take it out from under the blanket as it uses Bluetooth. Over all, I am very pleased with this remote and would recommend it to any TiVo user.

So you know, the standard functions work out-of-the-box, but the keyboard requires a bluetooth dongle connection. You must have an available USB port on your Tivo unit for the keyboard to function. It is a 10 second setup and it is flawless.
The surprise is that the response-time is SO MUCH BETTER. I am not sure why. Is the signal stronger? It feels like it.
Also, the buttons are not soft-press buttons, but rather the press-to-click variety, so you know that your pressure registered when it clicks. The soft-press buttons on the old remote made you want to HOLD the button down or press it harder that you need to - possibly sending the same signal 10 times without your realizing it.
In general, the response time is amazingly satisfying! The keyboard very fast and responsive. For the first time you will see that your Tivo is faster than you thought.
In addition, the remote is not just for using the search features. With the old remote control, it was basically not worth using the Tivos additional features like the Photo features, the Yahoo features or anything else where you had to login. The new remote with the keyboard makes this a BREEZE! It really opens up how useful your Tivo is!
While it is true that this remote is not cheap, it does make things faster, easier, and it opens up the inherent value in your Tivo that the old remote makes impractical to explore.
