Yes! The remote is designed to allow you to navigate and setup everything just fine. The keyboard is easier for most people, but is not required. The remote has a home button (with an icon shaped like a home), which will take you to the home screen; and a back button (with an icon shaped like a u-turn arrow), which will take you back to the previous menu, or close the onscreen keyboard; there is also a menu screen (with an icon shaped like a rectangle with a couple lines in it), which will allow you to pull up the menu options for a particular app, and lastly the mouse button (with an icon shaped like a mouse), which if you tap, then touch one of the directional arrows, will bring up a pointer which you can move around the screen to navigate or submit buttons etc.

Yes of course, but we think that within a few days of using Mike’s TV Box you will find you no longer need those subscriptions. But you can add them no problem.
