    We cut the cord with cable TV a couple months ago, so out went the cable company's remote. Now we use an outdoor antenna plus a Roku 3 for Netflix and other services. This brought us back to the TV's original remote which was wearing out. We examined a number of alternatives and finally settled on this remote. It took a few tries to get it programmed for our TV but, that done, it works fine. I didn't want a long skinny remote with a couple dozen unneeded buttons to wade through. This remote is, by comparison, short and wide. It lays well in the hand and feels solid. It has the buttons we need for the TV and its built-in DVD player. (The Roku 3 uses an RF remote that's not compatible with this or any other infrared-based remote.) About the only thing missing is our old "info" button which brings up program data for the current TV show. I haven't found any button on the remote that can do this. Oh, well. We'll do without. Other than that, we're quite satisfied.

    Looking for the cheapest of the very cheapest remote I could find for my old TV. I found 4th his remote online for $5.99. I took a huge gamble, will not really. Behold, the remote turns on & off my TV. I can also change the channels. This remote can do it all. This is good enough for me.

    This remote was easy to set up and worked well, but unfortunately I was not able to use closed captions. This feature wasn't readily apparent- I ultimately exchanged this remote for one that clearly had a designated remote button at the same price.

    This a good value universal remote. Only problem is that the intstructions for programming the remote are VERY poorly written. I’m pretty tech savvy but I had to go to YouTube to figure out the programming. It’s actually very easy to do but go to YouTube, don’t use the instructions.

    I love this controller. My brother works at a hotel and they were getting rid of their TV. The TV did not come with a remote. Price on this cute remote was great. I haven't had any issues. Just put in the code for my certain tv and i was set.

    This is a basic simple and easy to use remote. I like the lightness and feel of the remote. I can use almost the entire pad with my thumb. I had no problem syncing my old Vizio with the codes provided. The price is right. I recommend if your looking for an inexpensive remote. It does its job.

    Good remote for the money, not too expensive. I have an old dvd player so it was a little difficult to find the codes to program it but my husband did finally do it.

    The remote does what it says. Universal control of devices. However the control of DVD's is not great. But in all honesty, for less than 10 bucks...who cares?!

    At first connected fine but every once and a while it will disconnect and have to be re programmed. Just have to keep the manual handy for when that happens.

    This remote was a bargain and works great for basic needs. No problems with programming for TV, VCR, DVD. However, we needed to add a sound bar which it could not recognize. After researching why we couldn't communicate with the sound bar, we concluded that the remote unit did not have the technology capable of doing so,
