    Spent a lot of time trying to program this remote, but to no avail! It's either too complicated or ( and I think this is the problem) it just does not work. Useless piece of you know what. Stay away!!!!

    Tried everything and the remote activity buttons cannot be programmed. The so called manual is a complete waste. In fact, this was the worst possible remote to purchase as a replacement for my Logitech 650.

    I couldn't get this remote to work with our LG TV, Sony sound bar, and Apple TV, so I returned it. Not much more to say. I guess it might be OK if your devices are compatible.

    Great Basic Remote Easy to Program!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was just looking for a simple uni remote to replace my 4 remotes for a TV room, nothing over the top just a simple volume/component selector etc., This remote is just that, nothing fancy but it works well, super easy to program, and the keys do light up which is surprisingly handy not something I thought I needed. Low price, simple, and works as advertised
