    The BB team member who suggested this remote LIED. I even gave him the model number of the TV I needed a remote for, and all its info and he assured me that it would work, but it didn't! Total waste of money.

    Decent for the price

    This is a simple remote that can be complicated to use depending on your equipment setup. I have an insignia Roku TV and a Samsung soundbar. This remote had a "Watch TV" mode (which is enabled by default) that locks certain controls to the TV even if you've pressed the cable box/streaming button. You can turn that off, and then you can lock the volume control to a soundbar, as long as you're still in cable/streaming mode. Which is great if you have a separate cable box or Roku device. Problem is, I have a Roku TV. So I need to be in TV mode to control playing, pausing, etc. And in TV mode, the volume buttons control the TV, not the soundbar. So I have to hit the cable/streaming button, then use the volume buttons, then hit the TV button if I want to play, pause, or select a new show. Not a huge complaint in a $15 remote, but still it would be nice to be able to lock volume to the soundbar. Other than that, it's a reliable, easy to program remote for a low price. If you have a separate Roku or other streaming device and a soundbar, it should work perfectly.

    Channel master code on page 22 does not work with the DVR+ device. I tried all all 3 programming methods. It worked when I programmed other brands just for kicks, but going back to channel master was a bust.

      Hi.

      We appreciate your comprehension on this situation. We try to make our product as compatible as possible, however, it is impossible to guarantee that it will work with every model of Channel Master ever released. I apologize for the situation and hope we can meet your expectations with another different product.
