Hi. I just got the this new stb earlier today. My family use the hypptv on daily basis and i can say the remote is quite 'powerful'. The new remote doesnt hv quite a few important key. Such as-
-Tv control (power,volume, input selector)
-tv guide
-audio and subtitles
-numpad

I hope someone can try 3rd party ATV remote to see if anythg is compatible.
