Xbox one remote - 'A' button

I agree with this suggestion. Or atleast have a dedicated "button" that I could program in my remote to switch to live TV full-screen. I use a Harmony remote and would love to program something into the remote to put the XBox One in TV mode when I press
the "Watch TV" button on my remote and have the XBox One goto the dashboard when I press the "Play Games" button on my remote.

I just got the xbox one IR remote and can confirm the menu and pop up menu buttons on the remote still do not work!! What a waste of money this remote was, these buttons work on the connected glass app on my iPad but not on the remote, unacceptable...

Hi.

When you are using an app and want to get back to the Xbox home screen with the media remote, tap the Power On/Home button (the big "Xbox" button at the top) to reveal the guide and select "Home."

If you wish to completely close an app, press the Power On/Home button to access the guide, navigate the guide to highlight the app you wish to close, tap the Menu (hamburger) button, and navigate to "Quit" on the context menu.

This support page has more information about the Xbox media remote:

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox...-remote-info#064ff1f1d91d461e8939ca2fed2cd717

then you'd have 2 diffrent buttons on your remote one for on and one for off (unless its a smart remote but thats future tech )

When I press the Xbox's sync button, it searches and then if I press the remote's sync button, the xbox and the remote stop searching. This must mean that they're connected. But they're not?
