PS3 owners, a question about the bluray remote

[sean]

Hi,

I've got an old 40GB PS3 I'm planning to use for iPlayer, 4OD and ITV/STV Player. Does anyone with the official bluray remote know if and/or how well these apps are supported by the remote? I'd like to get one as I'm loathe to spend more than the console cost on picking up another dualshock pad.

Alternately does anyone have experience with 3rd party remotes? I presume by their use of USB dongles they emulate a wired controller so would work without issue?


Thanks!

Just to back up Voice, DVD/Bluray playback and iPlayer work very well with the remote, 4od does not due to just being a HTML/Flash website.

Thanks for the advice, everyone, I've just gone for another dualshock. Trying to navigate 4od and ITV is a nightmare with just the dpad buttons
