Product Description

The Tek Pal is the easiest to see and easiest to USE large-button available. With only 6 large, lighted buttons, the Tek Pal only does what you need with your television. Lost remotes, frustrating setup instructions and hard-to-read buttons are a thing of the past. Tek Pal boils TV remote control technology down to be as simple as possible. The Tek Partner and Big Button universal remote controls are the largest remotes on the market. The large, lit-up buttons allow those with vision impairments to easily control their televisions, VCRs, DVD players as well as satellite and cable boxes. The size of the remotes also ensure that they will not get lost between the couch cushions! These universal remote controls were designed specifically for people who may be visually impaired, allowing them to operate their home entertainment devices all from one large, lighted-button universal remote control. Hy-Tek offers 2 different remotes to choose from, the extra-large Tek Partner remote and the sleeker Big Button remote.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect TV Remote, December 31, 2007

By

This remote control was perfect for my 94-year-old mother. She had a minor stroke which affected her already poor memory. I often found her sitting in silence in her apartment because she forgot how to operate her CD player and her standard 57,000 button TV remote control. I searched the local stores for a VERY SIMPLE remote control but could not find it so I was very excited to see that Amazon had this 6-button remote. It's been perfect! It was easy to set it up to use with Mom's TV and she's had no trouble reading and using the large, lighted buttons. Get this remote for your elderly parent or relative! It's exactly what Mom needed. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't mind having it for myself! Now, I just have to find a simple CD player!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for Cable/Dish hookups, March 1, 2008

By 

CeeCee (Dallas) - See all my reviews

This is a very easy product to operate if you just have to work the tv, and don't have a cable box or satellite hookup. Hubby has brain cancer and has trouble using his hands, as well as trouble figuring out which buttons to push on the remote. This seemed like a great solution, but we had a satellite hookup and the remote doesn't work with them. Now have cable through the internet, still with a box, and the remote doesn't work with it either. I wish this company would come up with a similar remote that would work with our "cable box", because the simplicity and design of this remote are wonderful. And it was easy to set up to work the tv--directions on package.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ideal, April 27, 2008

This remote is easy to program. Just put it in program mode (push two buttons together for a few seconds) then push one button repeatedly until the tv turns off. Then push another button to save the settings. It is simple to use and the writing is large and easy to see.
