The Apple TV is an excellent streaming device. Its remote control, however, is a pain in the butt.
The remote control itself is tiny and slick, making it extremely easy to lose- in a couch cushion, for example.
The remote's touchpad is also overly sensitive, which means it'll turn on your Apple TV if you just graze it accidentally (or, you know, your couch cushion touches it).

And due to the near-symmetrical design of the button layout, you can't pick up the remote control and immediately know its orientation. I've had countless occasions where I try pausing a show or movie only to return to the main menu, because there's no way to know if the remote is upside down unless you look directly at it. It's annoying.
Thankfully, there's a solution that fixes every single problem with the Apple TV remote, and it only costs $8. Take a look.
