This review is from: Philips SRU3004/27 Universal Big Button 4 in 1 Remote (Silver/Black) (Electronics)

This was advertised as a large-button universal remote. It is neither. I got it for my folks, who have more remotes than they know what to do with, and can't see the buttons without their reading glasses, so they can't operate them while watching TV. Now, the number buttons are large, but all the other buttons you need to navigate your system are not much better than the typical tiny remote. The mute button is hard to even find. I thought that wouldn't matter much, because I could reprogram it to better use the large buttons, but that's not possible either: it will only work for a preset number of common appliances, which don't include ours, and with preset buttons. Also, for any special functions, you still need to return to your original remotes. Hopefully I can find an old-fashioned *reprogrammable* remote out there with senior-size buttons, but it's not looking promising.
