I went for this more expensive version as some people reported trouble programming the cheaper ones. Setting up required following simple instructions and typing in a code, 10 minutes was all it took. My Mum has a Hitachi TV there were about 10 different applicable codes, type one in, if it works OK if not try the next. From experience I tried back to front. In the end I found one that worked, my Mum was happy with it - arthritis makes selecting small buttons difficult. Sadley, the mute doesn't work, might try the auto search function later.
Minor criticism; The reason I wanted big buttons was to combat wrong button syndrome. So any manufacturer will get my vote and a lot of business if they who can come up with a TV remote that does sound, channel (up and down) plus select channel by number, on/off and mute. i.e. there are too many buttons. I am going to make a mask/shield to isolate the fancy buttons to eliminate wrong button syndrome.

I bought this extra large remote control for my mother-in-law who is slowly losing her sight but can just about watch television. The size of the handset is great however, for those who are hard of sight, there should really be some kind of touch system in place so that they can find the basic buttons easier e.g. the 'on'/'off' button, volume etc.
Also, the code that syncs it with whichever television one has seems to be lost quite often and we have had to reset it at least three times.
In general, with a few tweeks, this would be a great product.

My Mother-in-Law at 91 years old was having problems with the small buttons on her TV remote control. Having searched Amazon, I came across the Big Button Universal TV Remote Control. The price was cheap in my opinion and it arrived four days after the order was placed. Setting it up was a piece of cake and Mum now has a very simple to use remote. A great piece of kit for elderly people.

Looks aren't everything
Good looking and clearly designed for people with poor sight or poor co-ordination it promises much. However, the instructions to tune it in to your TV are very poor. Read more
