Not For Me,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 8 Functions Jumbo Universal Remote Control TV VCR Cable DVD Satellite
Bought this remote for a new TV so my wife could have her own remote with larger buttons. The remote works well but it was a learning experience about remotes in general and the complexity of a television's on screen menu's that an inexpensive remote must work with.
The problem I did have using this remote was I may hit a menu controlling button on the remote by accident when I only wanted to change channels. This mistake would take me into the TV's menu with no way to control or back out of the menu with this remote. Again it's not this remote but the complexity of the new TV menus and having all of these buttons on a remote that does not have all of the manufactures function programmed into it. May solution was to buy a remote with just the basic buttons large enough for my wife to see. The other thing I learned is I need to get a extra remote from the manufacturer that function properly incase I break the one that came with the TV. A more expensive learning remote may also be a solution.

Very limited capabilities,

This review is from: 8 Functions Jumbo Universal Remote Control TV VCR Cable DVD Satellite
I already had what appeared to be the same remote that I bought locally (it was the ONLY one they had!), and this one looked like the same one. But once I got it I discovered that the number of brands it has codes for is VERY LIMITED and does not include a lot of major brands!! Even when I tried using the codes from the booklet in my other remote all I can get to work is the TV function. My DVD player, stereo, CD player etc are all less than a year old (my cable box is older though...) and are all major brands, and this remote doesn't have the capability of operating ANY of them. I have spent about 4 hours using the Code Search function to try every code in it on them, and still have control of ONLY my 8 year old television!! While it LOOKS exactly like several others (including one that operates everything) it definitely is NOT as versatile as others!!! My ONLY complaints are about the remote itself, the seller shipped it quickly and did everything required of them.

JUMBO PROBLEM,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 8 Functions Jumbo Universal Remote Control TV VCR Cable DVD Satellite
I bought this remote as a present for my step mother who has macular degeneration. I could not get it to work the DirecTV or the digital/analog converter box for older TV's. This is going back. I will look for a big button learning remote. I am very disappointed with this.
