This remote works perfectly, ideal with just a few buttons, preventing mistakes using the TV, ideal for early onset dementia patients, thank you.

Not good for dementia patients that fiddle with buttons. My mum is the finger of doom for all electronics-thats why I bought this, to stop her changing the source on the TV and ringing me at midnight to say the TV had died. Unfortunately the set up buttons are "hidden under a flap on the front of the unit. Nice and easy for mum to play with. So I have wrapped Celotape round it for now- see how long that keeps her out. Setting up is a right faff. Don't worry with the poorly written instructions for inputting codes relevant to your TV's make. Head straight for the instructions on the back for "setting up when the codes don't work". Then its a piece of cake. Hit the sequence described and it sends 15 codes at a time . repeat until one batch reacts with the TV. Then go one at a time through the 15 to find the one that works. Far easier. We had a lock up on second day of use. It refused to do anything, so I removed and reinstalled the batteries and its been ok since then. Basic operation is sound but not the best design.

Excellent product had trouble getting the channel modes to work so I contacted the company and they gave me a new code and now it works fine

Ok, the 3 star review is specifically for the setting up instructions in the enclosed leaflet. Some parts were not particularly clear regarding the adding of favourite channels , and one major code number for TV only set up was not included at all and is only to be found on the online support pages. After 3 attempts ( including YouTube videos , the support page and a factory reset ) I finally got channels entered . I would finally give it a 5star review when my Dad seemed to get the hang of the simple 5 buttons straight away.

We're sorry to hear our customer had problems setting up this product, but pleased they eventually got this resolved. We're happy to offer technical support to any customers who have any queries or issues when programming their remote control.
Just perfect for my 90 year old dad. Thank you !
