There are GUI applications for watching TV, for example Me-TV, kaffeine
etc. Pick one that suits your needs.

I have never used the remote that came with my stick - therefore my
answer would be "no". But it obviously depends on your needs/preferences.
BTW: Of course, there is no necessity to use GUI applications like Me-TV
or the like, since there also are command line tools or big media center
systems like MythTV or VDR, but using a stand alone GUI app is probably
the easiest way to get started.
