    You have to push the buttons extremely hard to get it to work at all, and then sometimes it doesn’t work at all.

    I spent two hours trying to program this remote. I followed the very simple directions over and over. The remote would not work. I asked a friend who is very tech knowledgeable and she got same results. I would have returned but my job sent me out of town and I don't like Best Buys restocking fees. I will not purchase anything else from Best Buy online.

    I follow the instruction 1 by 1 and I can't make the SMART button to work, very frustrating but at least can switch channels and control volume. Instructions are poor and nothing online to support them. Also bit pricey but available immediately
