    Does the new Media Remote fully control your TV/Receiver? (d-pad, select, back)


    The new remote looks cool, but I can't seem to find the answer to this question. It provides navigation control (d-pad, select, back ) to various console apps. Ideally, it would also use the IR repeater in the Kinect to provide these navigation controls
    to your TV or Receiver when the TV app is active. Does it do this? This would truly make it 'one' remote to control the living room.

    :)

    New Xbox 360 Bluetooth Wireless Headset and Media Remote revealed

    Microsoft announced two new Xbox 360 hardware accessories on 26/07/2011.

    The software giant revealed a new Xbox 360 Wireless headset with Bluetooth. The device allows game players to use the headset with mobile phones and PCs as well as the Xbox 360 console. The headset will connect to the Xbox 360 through the console’s
    standard radio frequencies according to     Microsoft’s Major Nelson. The
    headset will be available worldwide in early November priced at $59.99.





    Microsoft’s second accessory is a new Xbox 360 Media Remote. The new remote features play/pause, skip forward, fast forward, skip back, fast back, and display to control DVD, CD, or streamed media. The remote will also allow game players to control
    their TV sets using the power on/off button, volume up/down, mute button and TV input. The remote also features the standard A, B, X, Y buttons and d-pad navigation. Microsoft has also provided select and back buttons and a new Live TV button for its upcoming
    Live TV service, available later this year. The remote will be available worldwide for $19.99 in early November.

    Question about upcoming Xbox one remote

    From the Microsoft post today about the remote...

    "The Media Remote can also control TV/Receiver power and volume through Kinect"

    So it look like it does control the Xbox via the infrared receivers on the Kinect.

    Question about upcoming Xbox one remote

    The official news post about the remote *only* says that Kinect is used for IR blasting your TV and your AV receiver. It doesn't say that Kinect is used to receive the remote's signals for controlling the console itself.

    Given that, and given that the console does have its own IR receiver, I'd assume that control of the console itself is direct using the remote. Kinect is just needed for TV/AV control, as the remote does not send signals to those directly.

    Remote > IR > Console = console control.

    Remote > IR > Console---Kinect > IR > TV & AV = TV & AV control

    Xbox One Chatpad collaboration

    Along with the traditional chat pad attached to the controller, they can also make a new media remote with the chat pad either on the opposite side of the remote or flip lid with chat pad inside…that way when you are watching tv you don’t actually have to
    use the x1 controller and waste your controller battery, either to surf channels, or send a message via live to your buddies. Also it would be easier to change the channels say from channel 1 to channel 111. Don’t think microsoft thought that over. Channel
    up and down does not actually work when one has about 1000 channels on their cable box, and some people like myself (Channel Surfers) does not always want to yell at the x1 to change from channel to channel. It is very exhausting. Found myself relying on
    my cable remote.

    Xbox One media remote & Onkyo TXSR602

    The new media remote works just like your controller. The programming is done under settings in your Xbox One. The remote uses the IR Blaster in your Kinect to control your TV, receiver and cable box. If this hasn't been set up in the Xbox One...you wont
    be able to control those items.
