We currently use a Chrome-cast with Google TV remote to operate YTTV. Do you have any experience using the LG remote to operate YTTV? Some reviews of the magic remote indicated that functions like pause, forward and rewind were buried in a side menu. Hopefully that is not the case as our use of YTTV is mostly watching recordings.
From my experience, we've had no issues. Since using LG's YTTV App within WebOS, remote works absolutely no issues (at least to date). I can see what people would complain about the remote giving you a 'mouse arrow' on your TV, but to be clear, you dont' have to use it. We use it for something things which makes it much easier and faster (like scrolling to pick the App we want to launch) and then use arrows for other things like scrolling down through the YTTV guide. I also believe you can use your phone if you'd like to control the TV (guessing similar to Apple TV's ability to use your phone). We have not set it up, but did wish we had one time as we had to try and find the remote our little guy had hidden . None the less - Still havne't downloaded it. Too far down the priority list to get to.

One other side note - Received this email this week about YTTV's contract progress with Disney. This WOULD impact us greatly if they can't get this done, as we watch ABC/WMUR and ESPN quite a bit, but that's just for us personally. Same thing happened with CBS earlier this year and they brought that to a conclusion at the 23rd hour, so no disruption if I remember correctly. Guessing something will be worked out on Friday, but never know...
