Still deeply flawed, but slightly better than the previous version.

The Fetch remote was always a slightly flawed product. The approach of having very few buttons, but lots of options that require you effectively pressing 'Shift' before you can access them was always going to be an interface nightmare and it still is. Yes it saves a bit of weight and makes for a sleeker product, but it creates more effort and errors in so-doing.

This updated version adds voice control, which is actually moderately useful though only in a limited number of scenarios. I like not having to type into search fields in Netflix, for example. And it does seem to work faster, with fewer delays before menu options come up. That's handy.

On the downside, the new buttons around the central navigation circle are far too close to the left/right/up/down buttons and far too easy to press by accident, and the Shift-on function to turn on my TV no longer turns on my TV (a Panasonic). So it's back to using the TV remote to turn it on and the Fetch remote from there.

Overall, the Fetch remote still feels like it was designed by someone who never has to use it.

Ripper Remote

Got one of these with my new fetch box and it is so much easier to use, so I bought this one for my old box. It pairs with the older box easily and works so much better, not too mention it has voice control. Read full review...

Definitely worth getting.

The new design makes it easier to turn subs on and off, to use the menu etc. It seems to respond faster than the old design, so that the fetch box doesn't freeze up as often due to pressing the buttons too fast.Read full review...

Fetch Remote - Voice Control

The voice control is brilliant. Very accurate and fast. Saves time and the frustration of manual search using the onscreen keyboard

Great Replacement Remote

My Fetch Mighty is about 7 or 8 years old, the original remote was laggy and difficult to use. I was skeptical about a new remote, thinking that the Mighty might be faulty. New remote is a dream to use.Read full review...

Breathe new life into Fetch

Voice control makes life a lot easier and works well. Buttons are more responsive than old remote and not as spongy. Well worth the purchase.

Fetch is a great product

Everything about fetch is excellent I have had some issues with replacing remotes when they have stopped working but this does not diminish my feeling about the controller I carry a spare
