I did try it briefly, but I agree with David's recollection and I also wasn't impressed. Similar to the Shield and my Sony TVs, I enabled Developer Options on the Osprey and paired it with MyServer. IIRC I had to do this a few times but it finally stuck.
The problem, like the Shield, is there is a significant lag between firing a command and the box responding, and I find it quite annoying. For some reason it works great on my Sony TVs.
The documentiaton for this is

, and IIRC it's quite similar to the Shield instructions.
My long-term plan is to set up IR control and use that. I've been out of town recently and haven't had the time to set this up, so I've just been using the Osprey remote as an interim solution.
