Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for controlling a content receiver using customizable gestural commands of a remote. The remote typically includes one or more buttons and a scroll input and is adapted to be held between a first finger and a second finger of a user or using a strap. The content receiver receives a customization function that defines a horizontal function to transform inertial data from the remote control into a horizontal cursor movement and a vertical function to transform the inertial data into a vertical cursor movement. The horizontal function is used to transform the inertial data into the horizontal cursor movement, and the vertical function is used to transform the inertial data into the vertical cursor movement. The horizontal cursor movement and the vertical cursor movement are used to control movement of a cursor on a display.
