Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the price - don't give up when setting it up !, September 25, 2009

I had no problem setting this up on a new HDTV. On an older TV it took me about 20 minutes to get to the proper step that 'shut off the TV'. Keep going through the sequence of hitting the Channel + key (and releasing) until your TV shuts off, then immediately hit MUTE. Don't give up. It seems like it cycles through each possible code until the TV finally responds.

Once setup, it's a great simple remote for the elderly !!

I bought this as a gift for someone who had trouble with a 'regular' remote that had lots of buttons and they found it hard to remember which ones to push. This is simple and easy to hold.

I purchased this product for my father who has limited vision. The concept is great because it is easy to see and there are only a few buttons. The problem was it would not work on his TV. I could not program the controller to work. I sent it back to the manufacturer.
