Annoying questions - accessories and consumables

: Replacing batteries fixes the freezing issue described below. But this remote quickly drains the batteries. My rough estimate is less than 5 weeks of light use on one set of batteries. Maybe Bluetooth is being searched for in the background? This product works quite well for basic audio/video operations but has some issues. Pros: Easy programming with phone app. Bluetooth connected quickly and all steps were intuitive. The keys feel solid. Cons: The remote has an annoying bug. If you hold the button down for a second or two (e.g. to fast-forward on Roku), the remote freezes and the programming light comes on. After a few seconds, the display goes out and the remote control works normally again. In addition, a rather limited list of programming options with the application. Don't expect to cover legacy hardware or other audio/video component categories here.

Pros
  • are clear, even the old
Cons
  • has more interesting options. Update
