I would encourage you to purchase another type of universal remote. This one will stop working for you within a year or sooner. It is very easy to set up, but not sure why they just stop working. I enjoy having all the buttons that allow you to control the DVR options, so you might not be able to use another remote. Just make sure you keep receipts and packaging to be able to return the product to exchange.
What's great about it: Easy to set up
What's not so great: Replaced three times this year

SynopsisFinally there's a game that friends, kids and parents can enjoy together ~ Smarty Pants. This trivia showdown proves once and for all who's the brainiest one in the bunch. This intelligent game for Nintendo Wii tracks each answer and adjusts the difficulty level for each player, so questions aren't too easy or too hard.

Use the interactive Wii Remote to crank the spinner, raise your hand and perform other movements that get your body moving and grooving. In addition, each category is fully localized with country-appropriate content for North America, the UK, France, Germany, Spain or Italy. Up to four friends or family members can play at once in the fast-paced, quick-fire Versus mode or team-based co-op play. Get your mind and your muscles in gear and get ready to show everyone who is the Smarty Pants in your family.

This is a good game to keep your mind going and it forces you to have a little activity as well. You have to do things here and there to add time. I am happy with my purchase
What's great about it: It keeps you involved and very challenging questions
What's not so great: Our 8 year old son gets bored easily with it.
