Title: I am now in control. And lovin' it.
Review: The remote for one of our TVs died, so I purchased the Philips Universal Remote Control to replace it. After a brief set-up I found that it controls the volume and channels. Works well, easy to set up, and does all I would expect it to do. It is very reasonably priced.I did find one quirk, when looking at the on-screen guide, if I wish to go from channel 43 to channel 45 it is necessary to press the '-' button as opposed to what I would expect, the '+' button. I have resolved this problem by holding the remote backwards and upside down during such operations.I have done some additional experimentation as to the universality of the remote. For example, I have found it has no apparent effect as a remote starter for my car, is of no value whatsoever with PowerPoint presentations during ZOOM meetings, and it cannot operate a lawn mower. In this I am bitterly disappointed and suggest revising the name to "Philips Universal Remote Control FOR TELEVISIONS AND CABLE AND STREAMING STUFF" (emphasis added) to avoid similar future disappointments to others.To close with positive notes, it does a fine job controlling the TV and Roku box in the kitchen, and that's great. And to my delight I have found it has a profound effect on my neighbor, R. Philips, who has just finished mowing my yard (the 'A' button), and next will be washing our cars (the 'B' button). I've yet to assign the 'C' or 'D' buttons, but I think leaf and snow removal may be good candidates, come fall and winter.

Title: Saving Grace After Roku Remote
Review: I have a Roku TCL TV and was worried this wouldnât be compatible. Thankfully it absolutely is. I was relieved to see my TV listed on the code area. First code worked off the bat. The Roku remote is HORRIBLE. Like sheesh, redesign it, Roku. I had to press the volume buttons until my fingers were sore because it wouldnât budge without an aggressive press down. Finally, I can save my fingers the trouble. Itâs clunky and old school, but I recommend it over the Roku remote any day!!Update: decided to update my review to five stars because, though it's not modern (my only caveat), it's perfectly workable, easy to set up, and way better than my previous Roku remote (if you don't already see my extreme upset with it above!!). Definitely recommend it.

Title: Easy to program, does what it says
Review: The universal remote I recently purchased exceeded my expectations with its ease of setup and programming. Right out of the box, the instructions were simple to follow, making the process seamless even for someone not particularly tech-savvy. Within minutes, I had it connected to my TV, DVD player, and streaming device without any hassle.One of the standout features of this remote is its functionality. It offers a wide range of controls, allowing me to manage multiple devices with a single remoteâno more fumbling around for different remotes when switching between my TV and other gadgets. The buttons are well-placed and easy to understand, so thereâs no confusion about which controls do what. The response time is quick, and it hasnât had any issues with range, even when used from across the room.Another bonus is that it eliminates the clutter of having multiple remotes on the coffee table. It feels durable in hand and lightweight, making it easy to use for extended periods.In short, this universal remote is a game-changer for anyone looking for convenience and efficiency in managing their home entertainment system. It offers a functional, user-friendly experience, making it well worth the investment. Highly recommended for anyone tired of juggling multiple remotes!

Title: Great For What I Needed
Review: Bought this just to control my TV and Roku and it was great!! It was honestly so cheap I almost bought another one. It literally took me just under five minutes to setup the remote. Itâs very small but not like a normal ROKU remote that tends to be lost easily and the ease of operation is simple

Title: This Remote doesn't do what I bought it for
Review: I bought this remote specifically to use with the Spectrum TV app on a Roku streamer. The Roku remote has no numbers or last chan button or even chan +/- buttons. This remote has all of those, but they don't work on the Roku, or at least they don't work on the Spectrum app. So, this remote turned out to be useless to me. The only way to change the Spectrum/chan on a Roku is by going through the chan guide and finding the one you want - every time. Voice commands don't work for Spectrum on Roku either, so I can't just tell it what chan to go to. I was hoping I could at least type in the number of the chan I wanted and then use the Last button to go back and forth between two chans or use chan +/- to bypass the chan guide, but none of that works with this remote. Also, the Exit button on this remote does what the back arrow button does on the Roku remote, but the Exit button is tiny and hard to find, so the Roku remote actually works better for Spectrum than this remote. If this remote cost more, I would return it. But for $10 I might as well keep it. Maybe I'll have a use for it in the future.

Title: Works great for multiple devices
Review: Got this remote to cut down from three remotes (TV, Roku, and soundbar). Setting it up wasnât that bad, just read the directions. You can use any of the top three buttons for any device, but I set them up with what was on the label ( TV for the TV, STR for streaming - Roku, and AUD for soundbar). Overall took only a couple minutes to be up and running. Reduced the clutter on my coffee table but a lot and it works great. Only thing to remember is you have to press the button for the device you want to control (I.e. if the last thing you controlled was the soundbar and want to change the channel, you need to press the TV or Streaming button first). Overall a good purchase.

Review: Ya sea que los controles de reemplazo sean feos, voluminosos y con botones y opciones que uno ni busca ni quiere... Este control es más bonito que el original de mi pantalla. Reconoció las claves en solo unos cuantos clicks (siguiendo las instrucciones, no te saltes ningún paso) y en un par de minutos ya estaba operando mi pantalla.ADEMÃS VIENE CONFIGURADO PARA MI ROKU!!!! no le tuve que hacer nada para esto de inmediato jaló y ahora puedo controlar mi pantalla y mi roku express con el mismo control remoto! lo adoro y mi esposa más!!!Se los recomiendo, no tiene pantalla LCD para cosas que ni me imagino qué serán ni botones para manipular satélites. Sólo lo básico y elemental hoy en dÃa... digo, si puedo operar mi pantalla y mi Roku desde aquà estoy F.E.L.I.Z.Solo sirve para 3 aparatos, por si quieres más busca otra opción.
