Customers are delighted by the ease of use and functionality of the Remote for Select Insignia™ TVs, finding it to be a great replacement for their original remotes. Many appreciate the reasonable price and compatibility with their Insignia TVs, noting that it works perfectly out of the box. Positive feedback also highlights the convenient size and the lack of any needed setup.
A friend of mine was moving and elected to part with a TV set as payment for helping pack boxes and load the truck. The remote disappeared. Unfortunately one of the things that never showed up a destination was the remote control. Yes I had a dilemma on my hands as what to do since I could only turn the set on and off and I just volume up and down and had limited channel selection. I tried and failed a number of generic TV remotes for the TV set and none of them were able to properly activate the TV set along with all of its functions thus I went to Best Buy in order to secure a remote for one of their private label TV sets. Unfortunately the local Best Buy did not carry a remote for the set and none of the stores in this region apparently stock it either so I had to place the order online not a major issue but it would seem to me that once the war in the region would act as a supply warehouse for the remotes. What made the deal sweeter was the fact that Best Buy that sent me a coupon for $5 off any purchase which I attempted to use but unfortunately the delivery of the remote was delayed until after the coupon had expired. Going to pick up the remote one would think could be some painless operation showing a copy of the email on your smartphone along with a photo ID but no you've got to show the credit card and photo ID along with the order number. The pickup process was further aggravated by the fact that there was nobody in vicinity of the will call area. In this economy with people having so many venues to purchase goods store owners and managers would recognize and adequately staffed the store as well as store with smaller items such as this and also get the parts to the store when their online system says that they will be delivered and not be delayed by several days. As to recommending this to a friend yes it's one of those things you got has remote to operate the Best Buy private label TV set.

This works fine to replace my remote that died on my old lcd Insignia TV. The price is right; I could have ordered an original Insignia remote from China... No, I'll use my Best Buy Points instead - thanks Best Buy! More compact, some buttons placed in different places, so you have to re-train yourself. Either a button is missing (used to be 2 info buttons), or the newer TVs allow you to access the forwarding interface: "what shows are going to be broadcast next" on the 1 info menu button. Hopefully the latter is true, if down the line I'm going to purchase a new Insignia TV.
