does anyone on here have any experiance with one?? if so how is it for changing the channels on a virgin tivo box??? i dont have the kinect so cant use the oneguide at the moment and was hoping this would be a good alternative now my virgin remote has completely died
 
I don't expect it to work with anything but the Xbox (and I think you need kinect to control other devices).
 
it says on the xbox site it can be used for the one guide and controlling tv volume and power off but it doesnt say anywhere that u must have the kinect plugged in.
 
heres what it says on xbox.com

Your favourite entertainment is at your fingertips with the Xbox One Media Remote. You’re in control of Blu-ray movies, streaming video, apps, TV power and volume. Featuring backlit keys that light up automatically, and direct access to the OneGuide, this simple, powerful remote is designed to help you watch and switch instantly
 
I use mine for apps and browsing without touching my controller during entertainment mode: Netflix, NowTv, Youtube etc.

Changing channels quick and easy once OneGuide loads (first time after every mew load takes like 10secs!!) but Ive only used with Sky.

Main downfall as a channel controller is the lack of numbers. But favourite a list of channels and you can hop around fairly quickly.
 
Sorry, I have a Kinect. Didn't realise Oneguide needs Kinect?

There is a hamburger button with dots, that button is one guide.
