REMTV is a six-disc DVD box set collecting appearances by American alternative rock band R.E.M. on MTV and related channels, from 1983 to 2008, released November 24, 2014. The collection was compiled by the former band members as they looked through all of the MTV film footage in their vault to prepare the release of Unplugged: The Complete 1991 and 2001 Sessions.[1]

The box set includes a new documentary on the band, titled R.E.M. by MTV, by Alex Young (producer, director) and Dave Leopold (editor).[2] The documentary is a collage of various R.E.M. interviews and appearances not only on MTV, but on several programs. This film was aired in theaters as a special engagement on May 19, 2015.[3] The documentary had a limited theater release run in 2015.[4]
