Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the 8 Device Universal Smart 8 TV Remote for its ease of use and broad compatibility across devices. Many appreciate its overall performance, straightforward setup, and reasonable price point. However, some customers express a desire for a backlight feature, and the inability to program custom buttons has been mentioned as a drawback.

    I am returning this. I wanted it to control 3 devices - a HIsense TV, a Denon Receiver and an Apple TV unit. I got it to work with the TV immediately. The Apple TV mostly worked but would not power-on which was annoying. I got it to work with my Denon for power on/off but it does not appear able to select input and I could not get "activities" (control multiple devices with one button) to work at all. So not much value since I still need to use 3 remotes together.

    I returned the item as it did not allow me yo use a single remote with all my electronics (i.e., TV, receiver, Apple TV, DVD, and CD). It may have been the age of my equipment as the components are older.

      Dear BestBuy,
      We are sorry to read that a key in your Universal 8 is not working. This, however, is dependent on the code which has been programmed. If it is not the right one, there might be functions that do not work or do not match the labels of the keys. In some cases, it might be also necessary to download first the code you need using the app.
      We would like to support you further and provide you a suitable solution. For this purpose, we would need the brand and the exact model number of your TV device. Please use the following link to get in contact with us and provide us the necessary information: https://www.oneforall.com/en-us/webform or via our Facebook messenger.
      Kind regards

    Bought this to replace our old easy-to-use Logitech universal remote (no longer made). I can operate computers and my iPhone and watch, but could not program this thing. Even asked my super tech-savvy 16 yr old neighbor for help he spent 1.5 hours without success.

    Good remote, easy to use

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

    Unlike some people that are unhappy with this remote, my wife and I absolutely love it. I found no need to use an app to program it. I followed the directions that came with it. I use it on an LG TV, Roku streaming device, Xfinity cable box, a Samsung soundbar and a Sony BD player. All of my devices work just fine. The macros for watching TV or streaming content both work. Since my Roku is on a different input source than my cable box, I use the "input" button to switch back and forth. Any universal remote I've used has been somewhat clumsy to set up, this one is pretty straight forward. I have a Logitech Harmony Elite in my home theater room, and I'm hoping it will just keep on working. While this remote isn't on par with a remote at that level, it woks fine for most applications. I would say with Logitech out of the remote business, this is a descent alternative.

    Eats through AAA batteries constantly. Terri’s to sell itself as a smart remote but is just tore standard universal remote. There’s way cheaper options out there for that. Works fine for me with 4 different sources I have. Wouldn’t be so bad of it at least had rechargeable battery inside it.

    Hard to Program

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

    The steps you have to go through to program this device are quite involved. It is very frustrating. It probably works fine for something very simple when you're just turning on one device and no other components are needed. But that is rarely the case when you have a TV that has many different inputs that need to be fired up when you watch. Still working on getting it set.
