    I purchased it to use a Visio Smart TV due to Purchasing one with out a remote, It was able to turn on the tv and Change inputs, but did not have the ability to use any smart functions or even change major tv settings, but I will say it is great for other devices, and as a quick replacement. but Not meant for Smart TVs post 2014

    Doesn't work great with my insignia tv

    The RCA Universal Remote is sleek and has a useful backlit feature for low-light environments. However, when used with my Insignia TV, its functionality is limited. Only the volume, back, and power buttons work correctly. Surprisingly, the home button doesn't even redirect to the home screen. Potential users should be wary if considering this remote for Insignia TVs.

    So I ordered this remote online to pick up in store. Online it said it needs 2 AAA batteries, and it said they are included. I didn't buy batteries because it said there are batteries included. I opened up remote and there are NO batteries included! That is false advertisement! Please fix this! I now have a remote with no batteries and I now need to go another day without.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Easy Remote!

    This remote was insanely easy to program, gives me all the basic features that I need (volume, channel changing, menu, DVD, info options...) and so far works great. The downside: It does state that it comes with batteries and it does NOT. I’m grateful to have read a previous review that stated this so when I ordered it I was able to order batteries too. The backlighting on the key pads is also kind of janky. It only highlights the circle in the center of the remote and the power button. But for an easy, programmable remote control, that is really affordable - a girl can’t complain too much! Would recommend & purchase again.

    Good Remote worked right away after a quick setup. Issue I noticed when you are on an app and watching a program and you need to go back to watch another show there is no back option that is available on the original TV remote so if you need to watch you have to start over.

    Great replacement remote for an older model tv. Controls the Firestick too. Great value, the instructions made it easy to setup but going through multiple codes was tiresome.
