ONE FOR ALL - Smart 8-Device Remote - Black

I have been buying One for All remotes since they debuted back in 1990. One for All has scaled back on the amount of remotes the make now versus what they made back in 1990. This is the first new remote they have had in about 5 years. The beauty of these remotes is that they have been using the same codes for 30 years. They have the largest database of codes and if the remote is missing a function, it can be found by hitting the magic button once and typing 00000-00255 and assigning the function to one of the unused buttons on the remote using the macro function. The functions are random between these numbers so you have to spend some time going through all the codes to find out which number works for what function. This function has been on these remotes since about 1995. They make the remotes for Xfinity as well and their remotes do the same thing. I too found the battery cover difficult to remove with then batteries in. I found a trick by pushing down hard with my nail between the top lip of the battery cover where it pulls away from the case. I discovered scratches and the use of some tool by the manufacturer to get the cover off due to the marks and scratches on the back of the case. I contacted One for All and they would not send me a new battery cover even though it was their fault. Said they didn’t have these in house. The box was sealed when I purchased it, so I know no one else had the remote before me. They told me to return it to Best Buy. I decided it wasn’t big enough of an issue to return it to Best Buy. The app is great and provides many more codes than what is sitting on the remote already. The app was easy to setup. Uses Bluetooth to connect to the remote. I like the feel of the remote and I like that One for All got rid of the red clear plastic on the end where the IR sensor is. This red area used to scratch easily and looked awful after months of use. The signal strength is great. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a fully functional remote at a great price. Also, for someone seeking a remote for a product where they have had a difficult time finding a remote to work for it. One for All has the largest remote code database of anyone and always has.

I purchased this product today as it appeared set up would be easy. Not!! At least not as far as I got. The battery cover is ridiculously difficult to get off. I was finally successful, put in what I thought were fresh batteries. Nothing turned on. I am going to have sore hands tomorrow from all the times I tried to get that stupid cover off again, but nothing doing. Back to Best Buy. Two young guys there tried to get the cover off with no success. Finally one of them just pried it off from the bottom. We put what we knew to be fresh batteries in and still no power. At that point I returned it. So that’s a couple futile hours I won’t get back! Don’t take a chance on this thing - it’s a lemon. The only bright spot was how helpful Best Buy was, as always.

This is the one of the best remounts I have ever used. I first tried to harmony that was five times the price and was significantly more difficult to program and operate . While this doesn’t fully operate on my devices it does exceptionally well replacing my Samsung TV remote and operates fully my DIRECTV Genie . It is however only IR. It aLao operates my Apple TV by IR only. It is easy to operate and does have some programming ability and learning ability which is a great feature at a remote of this price . It is solidly built and I can’t see spending anymore money on those fancy Harmony remote’s and will stick with this as long as I can

I bought this product because I have lots of electronics and it confuses mom as to which remote does what when she comes over. I was able to set up my LG tv, Xbox One, Samsung surround sound system and DirecTv cable box to this remote. The app made it more confusing for me personally because it kept trying to connect unwanted devices so I just punched in the codes from the instructions for setup. My only wish is that there was a light so you could see the buttons in the dark but other than that I have no complaints.

This remote works well. It is pretty easy to set up. Make sure you read the the instructions on the "Magic" button, I missed it on my first go. It would have been easier if I used it on my first attempt. I recommend this remote. I use Direct TV, Blue Ray player, and a sound bar; it is really nice to be able to be able to use one remote control instead of 3 to 4 different remotes.

This remote will function all of your entertainment devices. Took a little getting use to and learn but once it was setup, I now only use this remote for my 5 devices. 2 TVs,1 Blu Ray player,Home Audio System,Nvidia Shield TV Pro Streaming Device. It will require updates when 1st opened but basically you can do everything right from the Mobile App.

Got this to replace the horribly sub-par remote Spectrum provided. It was on sale, so why not? Turns out, I am not disappointed at all. Setting it up was a breeze, using my smart phone and the app. All my devices respond really well to it. If I wanna nitpick, the buttons should light up, but I am loving this baby!

Universal remote that works great. Controls my TV, Xfinity box, and Audio Receiver. I like how I can page it if I lose it in the couch. The negatives: the buttons don’t light up to see in the dark and buttons are not textured so fingers slip off when using.
