“Can an old-fashioned IR universal remote be used to turn on/off the tv, and change channels/volume for regular antenna TV? (I'm buying this tv for old people, so smartphone based remotes aren't ideal)”

Our TVs are compatible with most Universal and cable remotes. Many Universal and cable box remotes can be programmed to control select features on the TV. You can visit https://support.tcl.com/us-remote-codes for more information. If you do not see your specific remote, you would need to contact the remote's manufacturer to obtain the remote code from them. However, this TV does not currently support the direct input on channel numbers for antenna TV. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Some older ones wont as the sensor from the tv won't really connect that good with old remote sensors. But whatever smart tv your using might come with it's own remote like a ROKU remote or Samsung or TCL remote ect. And the remotes are very simple to use. Theirs no need to switch from channel to channel with those old complicated numbers or confusing buttons, you just use the d pad to go to your favorite channel. Bur if the older people aren't into that you could find replacement universal remotes that could connect to that exact tv if you dont like using the remote it comes with.
