2.0 out of 5 stars Buttons need too much pressure, July 6, 2009

This review is from: Hy-Tek Tek Partner BW0561RD Universal Remote Control (Electronics)

It works, but I was a little disappointed because the buttons require considerable pressure to respond. I bought it for my Mother -in-law but she quit using it after frustration of touching the buttons which did not work without pressing quite hard.

1.0 out of 5 stars Big disappointment, December 30, 2010

Do not buy this remote! It has many flaws.

1. This remote will not operate a DISH Network HD Receiver. None of the supplied codes work and the "seek" feature for codes doesn't work either.
2. It will only power on/off and raise/lower the volume on a Vizio TV. It will operate the input switch, but it skips terribly, so you might think you've selected the correct input and in a few seconds it will skip ahead. For a hanicapped person, this is exceedingly frustrating.
3. It will power on a Magnavox Blue Ray player, but will not power off. It will play, stop, pause, FF and RW, but it will not allow you to select any of the menu options.
4. The buttons are VERY hard to press - even for a person who is physically capable.

I purchased this as a Christmas present for my brother who is quadraplegic. He was so excited. We have spent hours programing and reprogramming it ... trying to get it to do just the basic things that the small remotes do. I have called the manufacturer and, after holding for a decent amount of time, was put into voice mail. I never received a call back, as they promised. I e-mailed the manufacturer twice. I recieved one response ... and it was just a copy and paste from the FAQ section. My second e-mail went unanswered.

Everything about this purchase has been a let down. I wish I'd never purchased the Hy-Tek Tek Partner.

I sent this to my parents & my dad had problems at first getting it to program. They have a sharp tv, but now it's working. My mom loves it.
