Review on ๐Ÿ“บ Channel Master Simple Remote CM-7000XRC: Apple TV 4K Compatible Replacement Remote Control by Nguyen Taylor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

ATTENTION! Doesn't work with SONY TVs (and hardly works with older Samsung TVs)

This is a well-designed remote, but its weight makes it feel like a quality remote. If it really worked as advertised, it would make a great replacement for the AppleTV remote(s). I love Apple products, but as we all know, the remote control (in all its versions) still sucks. I have a 4K and the latest Apple remotes (ordered extra as I thought it would be a big improvement over the much despised trackpad-only version at my house, but the new one still mostly sucks). Anyway, back to CHANNEL MASTER. It absolutely failed to pair it with our new Sony X750H. Everything tried disabling/disabling AppleTV, whatever. I'm not a Luddite and this should have been easy - not. I took it to pair with my very old Samsung in our basement and while it connected to the Samsung and can now control the home button and menus, it won't adjust the volume or turn on/off . So it goes back. Too bad, I was really hoping this would work.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Null
