Review on Enhanced Remote Control for All Insignia Fire/Smart TV Edition (Excludes Voice Search) [Non-Compatible with Fire Stick] by Brent Porter

Seriously, DON'T DO IT! The buttons work *maybe* ⅓ of the time. When we first used it we found it amazing because it automatically connects to the TV with no programming required. (We also wondered if someone could walk around with this remote and change someone's channels if they had a compatible TV. Something to think about.) BUT the buttons on the remote quickly stopped working. We usually have to press any button 2-5 times to get the actual response from the TV. We don't even use the remote control anymore, instead we downloaded the FIRE TV APP, which gives us actual control over channel switching, it works from the first click. THE ONLY PROBLEM, the app turns your phone into a remote control, it makes it difficult to use the phone in any way unless you're switching back and forth. And if your phone runs out of time, you need to complete the whole process with the security code, it takes a little time to return to the remote control. whatever it is HERE IS THE PROBLEM behind the problem. We bought this Revain Fire TV and the remote that came with it broke within the first 9 months. So go online, Revain will sell you more remotes for around $20. but why am I paying Revain MORE money when I just bought an original that shouldn't have died so soon. Do you see what I'm getting at? Consumerism at its worst. So I went to another brand to say "FU" to Revain because he was trying to get me to pay them more money. but this other brand doesn't work and is so disappointing. Just do not.
