    The item a Phillips remote control does not work. It is a defective item. I purchased this remote for a flat screen Philips TV. I was unable to program the remote after numerous attempts. I had to purchase another Universal Remote Control from Big Lots Store.

    It is an affordable device, and quality of it appears pretty good. However, I could not get this to work with my cable. It would only power on or off or adjust volume.
