    I followed the directions, and couldn't get it to work. I thought it was me, but then my grandson tried it. Same thing. My husband and daughter tried, still nothing. It's a weird looking paper weight at this point.

    Not for LG, not 3 devices...

    I went to BestBuy asking about a universal remote for LG tv plus a blu ray player. The sales person picked this out and rang me up. First of all, its for 2 devices plus volume, not 3 different inputs. If you had a tv, set top box, and blu ray, this remote could only control 2. Device "3" is a sound bar (aka volume +/-). Well it also does not control any 2 devices you want - just a TV and set-top (cable) box. I don't use cable and specifically went in asking about a blu ray player but the salesman said we could program any 3 devices to the 3 buttons and control them. Nope, I tried just about every single 4-digit universal remote code to see if the STB button could be programmed to control our Sony blu ray player, and its not possible. Ok, but did I get it to control my LG tv? When in TV mode the power button will turn our LG on and off but every other button is mis-programmed. "Home" brings you to settings. "Back" doesnt do anything. The entire remote is completely worthless. I can't find my receipt to return this.

      Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear about the issues you've encountered with the universal remote. It sounds frustrating, especially since it doesn't meet your needs for controlling multiple devices. We recommend reaching out to BestBuy's customer service for assistance, even without a receipt. They may be able to help you with a return or exchange. If there's anything else we can assist you with, please let us know.

    It's not bad, but my remote control came out with the buttons inverted, you have to press the one on the left to go up, the one to go up goes to the right and so on, just for that reason I give it 2 stars

      This may cause by using the family code sets, not every code work correctly. Please follow up the user manual to try another code set.

      "If one or more buttons do not work as expected, start again at step 2 till ALL buttons on the Insignia Remote works. Your remote will start with the next code in memory.

      1 Turn on your device and point the Insignia universal remote control at it (if you are setting up a streaming device, make sure a movie or TV program is playing).
      2 Press the device button you want to set up (for example TV).
      3 Press and hold the SETUP button until the LED on your remote button blinks twice.
      4 Press and hold the number button for your brand and device, as listed in the tables above (or example, 3 for a Phillips TV). Your remote will send the power signal every three seconds.
      5 Release the button as soon as your device turns off. The LED blinks twice and your remote will now operate your device." BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

    Connected well enough, but it was slow and unresponsive. In fairness, I’m honestly not sure if it’s the tv or the remote that is at fault here though.
