    This was 1 of 2 replacement remote controls I got for this TV. This one worked for only 30 minutes and the second worked for 2 days. I am convinced that both remote controls were not new. Sadly I just use the amazon fire tv remote app on my cell phone. I will be replacing my Insignia Fire TV with another brand.

    It is like using firestick. Not pleased with live tv on air. Do not pick up channels other tv I own can pick out of air. Is like having a tv for streaming only. I swapped out tv using the same antenna refuses to pick up most local channels the other tv did. I could use a monitor for this.

    Second remote I have been through. Won’t replace it and when you call toshiba you wait on hold forever and then they just hang up. Remote buttons go out and can only use the power button. Do not recommend.

    This is not a good product. It has started off where my other one left off not working correctly when I returned it. My 1st one didnt last a year. This is my 2nd one and in a couple of weeks it started messing up not being able to keep contact with the tv. I am waiting for it to completely die like the one.

    Picking up the product from the store was a nightmare - the manager only let 50 ppl at a time as in 50 come out and then 50 go in smh there was no social distancing going on outside either everyone was just bunched up in front of the store - made me not want to every shop at this store

    Don’t know why it’s not working but I’m upset I spent like 30 or so bucks for it to stop working so soon. We still don’t have a remote for our fire tv. So we use our have to use our phones.

    Did not work at all. Froze my TV and it would only turn the TV on and off. Missed the window to return too due to my busy schedule :/ so that’s my fault but I was disappointed.

    I repeat: IT DOESN'T WORK ON MY TV! Ironically, I was able to get my original remote to work again, but the Insignia has been a bust as my TV is concerned.

    Worked right out of the box and we were happy! But it’s been a month later and it suddenly stopped working, it will power on/off but nothing else. I have tried to reprogram it but the tv doesn’t recognize the remote at all.
