TabTime Big Button TV Remote Control - Easy to Use and Set Up - Universal - Basic Television Remote Control - Dementia Friendly Gifts (Silver)

Bought this for my old mum whose sight is failing. I spoke to a guy who fitted mums tv aerial about remotes with big buttons he said they’re too complicated but I thought I’ve got to try something.Read the description of this and thought it sounded fairy simple, no code entering etc.When I started reading the instructions I thought there’s no way I’m going to be able to do this. Then I watched the video a couple of times, I’m quite technically minded but I need a dummies guide to everything.Works perfectly, I was worried that when I set it that would be it but you can change it. The guide was clear and when the penny dropped I realised how simple it was.You can’t programme every channel it’s just an up and down channel changer so if you want say 101 you have to press it 101 times.You can however preset the small button to your fave channel but I’m not sure if you can program it to a channel with double figures but mum only watches 5.Mum loves it she’s not afraid of changing the channels and pressing the wrong buttons anymore.

Excellent product and so easy to program. Just make sure your tv is IR and not RF.Such a great idea and my elderly mum can’t press the wrong buttons anymore and lose her picture.Thank you TabTime.

After reading some reviews, I was not sure on getting this. Glad I did, it has made such a difference for my 98 year old Mother. Very simple, lovely big buttons. She has had it for a few weeks now without issue. In terms of setting up, watch the video, read and follow the instructions. I made a mistake on my first attempt, but worked perfectly on my second and no problems since.

Easy to program and use. Good for an elderly relative ( to use not program !) . Might need to write clear directions on it with marker

Got this for my elderly mum and spent over a hour trying to match it to the tv . Only managed to put the volume up with it but not down !! Rest of the buttons dont work . Total waste of time and effort . Returned this , don’t waste your time .

Tricky to get to work because learning mode will only work in the dark. The instructions fail to mention that resulting in much frustration. Once in a dark room the programming worked well. Unit is a bit plasticky and looks quite cheap although the buttons are clear and better quality than the case itself. Wording on case needs to be clear as Alzheimer's sufferers need sharp contrast as their depth perception fails

Easy to set up and use, but unfortunately did not work properly with the RCA Roku TV in my relative's nursing home room. The first button pressed would register, but subsequent presses were ignored by the TV until the original remote was used again. I suspect it must use some kind of alternating infrared codes which this remote does not learn.

Easy to link to the samsung tv. Easy to use by my elderly friend who kept losing her channels with the original remote!
