What I liked
Very few buttons make using the remote intuitive and easy. The buttons are also quite large and easy to see and press.
It's designed ergonomically and it's really smooth, it's a pleasure to handle.
It's universal, but can't be used in conjunction with Sky TV.
What I disliked
It's not compatible with Sky TV.
Setting it up was not very straightforward.
What is interesting
It looks different from other remotes, which are usually black or silver.
What I thought about it overall
I love this remote control!

What I liked
The remote was in a cardboard box with the instruction booklet. Easy to access and use.
What I disliked
The batteries were already in the remote. I tried to set up the remote to control my TV but I couldn't work it out.
The instructions weren't clear and I phoned for assistance several times without success.
I was at the point of giving up and take it back when eventually some assistance came to my house and set it up for me.
What is interesting
The remote works brilliantly now, and I can clearly see the buttons. As I am visually impaired, I find this remote much easier to use than the old one.
My wife who has dementia, doesn't use it . I usually set the program she wants to watch.
What I thought about it overall
I love this remote control and I have now bought it. It makes watching TV so much easier and pleasurable. I will recommend it, especially if you have sight problems.
