I bought one of these for myself, and one for my dad for his birthday. I put a video of a major life event on each channel (marriage, children, grandchildren, holidays, band gigs) so he could zap through his own life, and he loved it and showed it to all his friends and family! The little working remote really completes it.
I do wish the video format was a bit more forgiving, so it can be (more easily) encoded with ffmpeg instead of the Windows tool.
