Finally. One That Works

Including the one that came with the unit I had 4 of these in total, the last one seems to work fine. The problem that affected all the previous 3 was that they would drain the batteries even after not using them for 24-48 hours. Some have speculated that the faulty ones might have shorted out, but despite that I'm glad this one has held a charge for the past two weeks. Overall though, I think this is a poor cheap remote, mostly because the LEDs are so dim and hard to read. It's something like orange letters on a dark background. Bad design. Haven't found an inexpensive universal remote that covers all the different settings.

Pros
  • Please Note: If it doesn't work, replace it with a BRAND NEW ALKALINE BATTERY instead of a rechargeable battery and make sure nothing is blocking the front of your device.
Cons
  • The cable is shorter than the others
