Customers are enthusiastic about the ease of use, backlit buttons, and rechargeable battery of this universal remote, finding it convenient and easy to set up. Many appreciate the backlit keys for nighttime use and the elimination of the need for battery replacements. However, some users experienced compatibility issues with certain TVs and found the button size to be somewhat small.

    Our remote for our TV broke and we needed a new remote to switch the TV between TV, DirecTV & Blu-Ray. The techs recommended this TERK - Rechargeable 4-Device Backlit Universal Remote. It was very easy to program. Easy to work. And it's rechargeable! So that will save on batteries.

    Couldnt find my oem control after a brief visit with my toddling grandbaby so I made the trip to BestBuy for a quick replacement. Connected easily and was the perfect substitute for a lost remote until it can be found.

    I replaced my original remote after it stopped working with this one. Works really well and rechargeable too yes please. Loved so much just went and got another one for my other tv. (Because the todler broke that one too lol). It is slim so i can easily fall between couch cushions.

    Disappointing and Frustrating.

    I had difficulty with setting up the remote. I followed the instructions. I got to the last step, which said that the DVD player would turn off if you successfully completed the setup, which it did. After that, I tested the remote, but it did not work. I tried several times to no avail. So, I went to the website for help, but all I found was information for their antennas. Then I found a phone number. I could not get a line for help there, either. Therefore, I was left for calling Best Buy for help. They had to come out and it took a few minutes to get it to partially work. I have to turn on the DVD manually, but after that I can control the screen. If Terk had adequate help, I might have given it a higher rating.

    It doesn't work as I was hoping it would. I was hoping it would control my sonos with my tv, not separately. And, it does not turn my sonos off, only controls volume. But, you get what you pay for I guess.
