Works fine, but on-off button problems after a few years [Posted on 2007-02-08] A simple, solid universal remote. We bought it to replace a dead TV remote. We didn't want anything fancy, and this worked great for about 3 years. Now the on-off button is getting hard to use, so we have to replace it.
Cheap but short-lived [Posted on 2007-06-23] I purchased this remote less than a year ago. It has had some problems being "testy" in the past, by which I mean that I needed to press buttons several times before they worked. It would also sometimes turn off the TV when I asked it to turn off the VCR and vice versa. Yesterday I tried using the remote, and it just did not work at all. I tried taking the batteries out and putting them back in, but now the light at the top that comes on when you press a button, will not light up.
So I'm looking for a new, different remote. This one is fine if you commonly lose a remote or it gets chewed on by the dog. But if you want something that lasts, I would look elsewhere.
