We ordered one of these a few months ago for my grandmother, who had begun to call us every day to "fix" her tv for her. She was having a lot of trouble understanding how to turn on and off both the satellite system and the television, and was confused about all the buttons on the two remotes. Sometimes she would accidentally press a button and would not know how to get it back to her programs. This remote was a life saver for all of us. It programed in minutes to both her tv and satellite. Now when she presses Power, both turn on/off. She loves how simple it is. Only one remote, and very large buttons that she can see. The remote controls only the essentials: power, mute, channel, volume. Is is easy to understand and large enough that she cannot easily misplace it. I ordered a second just recently for my other grandmother who broke her hip and must stay in a nursing home for therapy. Programed it to her tv for her, but she seemed a little apprehensive about using it. But the next day she called me and told me that she had been moved to another room, and asked me to please come and program the remote again, because she couldn't see the buttons on the one they had given her. She had learned to use it without any trouble once I had left her alone with it and now loves it. This remote is perfect for elderly folks who would like larger buttons and just the essential elements. But it is also great for people with children, or anyone who would just like to simplify things a bit. It won't control some of the fine-tuning features, but if all you need is to flip through channels and turn up the volume, this will help you a lot. We love it.Read full review

The remote design is well suited for seniors or others who have difficulty with many small buttons. Unfortunately, this remote did not pair with a TWC/Spectrum cable box which made it useless for our needs. Note that many cable boxes, satellite boxes, and streaming devices now use radio frequency (RF). If your remote does not have a small red bulb in the front of it that lights up, this device will not likely pair with it 🙁. This information should be made clear in the description.

I bought this for my 87 year old mom who has macular degeneration. It is large enough to be easy to find. The buttons are large and so simple it was easy for her to learn to use. It is used with direct cable (no cable box) at her facility and was the perfect choice for her. Easy to set up, easy to use, easy to find. No complaints at all!

After dozens of clicks, it finally programmed to my Samsung! So easy to use, and you don't need aim it directly at TV. The unit lights up when you press a button. It comes with 2 duracell batteries already installed.

I bought this unit for an elderly resident where I live. She likes the big buttons and the bright-enough lights, but she can't read the small Comcast channel numbers on her TV screen. This Tek Pal TPL-1240G doesn't have any number buttons on it, so she has no way of knowing what channel she is on after she has pressed the channel up/down buttons. It doesn't suit her needs and I myself don't need this particular model.
