    I was going to see if it’s still possible to return. I have put 3 sets of batteries in it since purchasing. I link the function of it but it doesn’t run long on the batteries.

    Doesn't Work with my TCL

    I recently picked up a TCL 55Q550F 55" tv on an open box deal but when I got home it had no remote. So I decided to get one of these universal remotes. I thought for sur eit would work. But nope. I've tried everything in the manual. The Simpliset programming didn't work. Neither did any of the codes for the TCL listed in the booklet. It may work with other TCL's but it didn't work with my Qled. I'm very disappointed. As I still have no remote for my tv.

    I bought this upon the recommendation of the person who helped me at the store. It cost between $21 - $30. It didn’t work for me because my tv was failing. When I went to return it, unused, I learned there was a restocking fee of $45. So, it was a total loss for me.

    So far I have been unable to get this remote to work with a 58" Insignia TV and my ATT Uverse box. Either I am an idiot, or this remote doesn't work. I have been fairly competent most of my life, so I am hoping I have not become an idiot. That means the remote is the culprit in this situation. I stand by that.

    The product description is a lie, it isn't really a 3 device remote. The 3rd device is limited control of an audio device, not a full remote. For me it failed at even that, no audio control at all. Totally useless and a waste of my money.
