From brand-specific replacements that work straight out of the box to big button remotes, finding the right tv remote is easier than you think.

FAQs

1. What is the difference between a dedicated replacement and a universal TV remote?

A dedicated replacement remote is designed to work exclusively with one brand, such as Samsung or LG. These are often "plug and play," requiring no setup at all. You simply put in the batteries and they work immediately. A universal tv remote, on the other hand, is designed to work with almost any brand of television. While it requires a short setup process to pair it to your specific TV model, it offers the flexibility to control multiple devices like your TV, soundbar, and DVD player from a single handset.

2. How do I set up a universal remote?

Setting up a universal remote is usually very simple. Most modern models, like those from One For All, use a "code entry" or "auto search" method. You simply look up the code for your TV brand in the included manual, enter it using the number keys, and the remote locks in the signal. Some advanced models even have a "learning feature" that allows you to copy functions from your old original remote if you still have it.

3. Do you stock specific Samsung or Hisense TV remotes?

Yes, we stock dedicated replacement remotes for major brands. If you need a Samsung TV remote or a Hisense TV remote, you can buy a replacement that looks and functions almost exactly like the original. These replacements are pre-programmed with the correct infrared codes for that manufacturer, so they will work with almost any TV from that brand., whether it's an older LCD or a brand new 4K Smart TV, without any programming required.

4. Will a universal remote work with my Smart TV apps?

Yes, most modern universal remotes are fully compatible with Smart TVs. Many now feature dedicated "app" buttons that can be programmed to launch Netflix, Disney+, or Prime Video just like your original controller. However, it is worth checking the specific model features, as some basic tv remote replacement options might require you to access apps through the TV's on-screen menu rather than a direct shortcut button.

5. Can one remote control my TV and my Soundbar?

Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of buying a universal tv remote is consolidation. You can programme the volume buttons to control your soundbar while the channel buttons control your TV. This feature means you only need to pick up one device to watch a movie, changing channels and adjusting volume seamlessly without juggling multiple controllers.
