Consumer review (radioshack.com)

Not digital ready

 

This unit, as good as it, is not ready for the digital TV age. On the TV channels, it will not allow you to put in 25.1; 12.2 and so forth. You punch in 25 and then have to scroll up to find these channels. In other words, there is no decimal button...

Doesn't support my 3-yr old Vizio TV

 

The user manual says that it has "largest and most efficient group of IR remote control codes for virtually every current brand and make." This is a gross exaggeration, as witnessed by several other reviews and my own experience. I bought my 42" Vizio...

Nice product, nice features, etc. But I bought this at a Radio Shack store to replace the remote for my Accurian DVD, precisely because Accurian is a Radio Shack "house brand." The package even lists Accurian as compatible. No such luck. Looks like...

Only good when manufactured

 

The setup instructions were concise, however, the remote could not operate my Olevia television, despite the codes being provided. The code search feature found one, but it wasn't precise. Operation was dodgy at best, with the volume up button turning...

DOES NOT WORK WITH NEW TV

 

I bought a new Emerson HD TV. The Radio Shack remote I had purchased in January would not work with it. I called the store in Klamath Falls, OR, and was told to get this remote because it will even get new codes for you. I bought it for [$]. I went...
