GE 24914 Universal Remote Control, 4-Device Infrared Silver

I purchased this remote from walmart for about $6. Should have known better. This remote stops working throughout the course of its use. I estimate that I reprogram this remote close to 20 times a day which is why I have my TV code taped to the back of the remote. Also the other functions (i.e. DVD) is a PITA! You have to press the "shift" button every time you want to maneuver through the DVD menus. Just to move up and down on a menu you press, "shift" "channel down" "shift" "channel down" "shift" "channel down"... Utterly worthless do not waste your money, would be more useful as a chew toy for my 12 month old.

I purchased this universal remote from Wal-Mart for only 4 dollars. You do get what you pay for, which is not much as far as this remote is concerned. If you just want an extra TV and/or VCR remote, this might fill the bill, as it will turn on and off a TV, adjust volume, and changes channels. However, it is the other functions that it puports to have (DVD funtionality) that are extremely limited. Again, it will turn these devices on and off (after programing the device buttons), but thereafter, and especially with the DVD functions, this remote is pretty useless. For example, the DVD function button will turn on the DVD and show the beginning menu screen, but then there are no handy buttons to navigate through the menu screen. If you press "play" the DVD will play, but any extra features, subtitles, languages, etc., are inaccessible, as there are no buttons to select these features. The remote does a better job with the VCR, but there are also less options with a VCR compared to a DVD. This remote is programable to most VCR brands, will start the VCR, play the tape, rewind, fast forward, fast reverse, and will shut off the VCR.

The remote serves as a handy duplicate TV/VCR remote in our household, but one needs a dedicated DVD remote for full functionality. Therefore, I cannot recommend this remote unless you plan to use it for a TV only. Get a more expensive multi-functional remote for optimal useage.

Great little remote control. All the basic bells & whistles, not complicated at all. I own 2 of them. A good size for your hand, not too big.

I got this remote at Wal-Mart to replace an old 87 Sharp box T.V. It is awesome. Works better than my newer LCD T.V. remote controller. I paid 4.98. Great value. Why pay more? If you just want something to turn on/off, channels, and volume this is your remote. For setup I just followed instructions for remote to search code for brand of T.V. voila!!! Loving it. If my other T.V. remotes go out I will buy another G.E.
