A remote control handset 10 (for eg a TV) is provided for navigating a user interface of an entertainment device, the user interface having a hierarchical menu structure. The remote control handset 10 has a button 40 on its upper surface 20, and a button 120 on its lower surface 80. The button 40 on its upper surface 20 is used to navigate deeper into the hierarchical menu structure, and the button 120 on its lower surface 80 is used to navigate in the other direction (i.e. higher) in the menu structure. The remote control handset 10 is thus configured to make navigation of a graphical interface having hierarchical menu structure more intuitive, logical, and efficient. The remote control may also have a touch screen which can be used to eg navigation within a menu hierarchy or control other parameters (eg volume). The touch screen may include a display (eg LCD) which changes with function. The remote may provide tactile/ haptic feedback.
