Review on πŸ“Ί Channel Master Simple Remote CM-7000XRC: Apple TV 4K Compatible Replacement Remote Control by Wendell Chapman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great replacement for the Apple TV+ remote with very few caveats

The remote worked straight away with the Apple TV - the four arrow cursors around the OK button work much better than the Apple Touch Bar and the OK button much more reliable and predictable than clicking the touchpad. The Touchpad Remote also has forward and backward buttons that perform 15 second forward and 15 second backward functions. And there is a MUTE button! Hooray! Best of all, the remote control is big enough not to fall through the cracks in the sofa cushions and slide onto the floor. After a bit of searching for the right codes (it took a bit of patience), we found that the power button, volume button, and mute button can be programmed to work with either our TV or soundbar. My only concern is that I wish the remote could be programmed to send "on" and "off" signals to the TV and soundbar simultaneously (which seems impossible). The BOSE remote that came with our soundbar can do this, which is why we still keep it on the coffee table to turn the TV and soundbar combo on and off. Definitely worth its price. However, shipping is very slow - be prepared to wait a while for it to arrive.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • No
