I don't have any issues with the remote but then again I never had any of the issues people here complain about so don't blame me if it doesn't work for you the way you expect it to. For me all previous activities still work as I set them, I don't know about long press of mute and channel buttons since I don't use them in that way. Long press on the color buttons, volume, back button etc work as expected. Only "issue" I have (since the beginning) is the sporadically backlight waking of the remote when it is on the table. No dealbreaker though.
