Fine Replacement Remote
(4 out of 5) by Gregory Nichols on Oct 15, 2008 (Ann Arbor, MI)We bought this remote for our in-laws as their original Sony TV remote finally broke down. This is a fine replacement remote especially for older people that may need larger buttons due to eyesight issues (or anyone with dexterity problems). The only drawback is that it doesn't light up so you can't see it well in a dark room. But the channel and sound buttons are large enough and located together at the bottom of the remote so finding them is pretty easy even in the darkest of rooms.

Good Product
(5 out of 5) by David Abraham on Apr 27, 2009 (Utica, NY USA)This is a good basic, simple remote for a tv that does not have a cable box. It is good for the elderly and non-technical person. Recommended.

Great Little Remote
(5 out of 5) by D. Miller on Jul 13, 2009 (Texas)Bought this for a stroke victim with limited mobility in his hand and it works great for him. The buttons are larger and that is a great help. Only works on 2 devices which is perfect for the TV & Direct Tv - sometimes simple is better. In the past we have purchased Sony remotes that do not work with the Dish system, we did not try this one on Dish, just Directv. One other note - the product description is incorrect - the remote is NOT 11" long - they must have measured the packaging. So if you are looking for one of those very large remotes, this is not it. This one is about 5 - 6" long, but good button size for those that need that feature.

Simple Goodness SoSo Quality
(3 out of 5) by Cookie Contessa on May 30, 2009 (Byron, CA)OK, the reason we bought 2 of these is because my 93 year old mother-in-law can't figure out any remote other than this one. In her lifetime we have bought her about 15 of these. That being said the reason we have is because the volume control buttons have broken every time and along with that, sometimes the channel up and down button buttons broke too.
Now, we know she pushes those buttons and uncharacteristically large amount of times but still they shouldn't break that oftern.
Regardless, a relatively decent product for the price and if you used it normally you would 'prolly be ok.
