Review on Spectrum TV Remote Control: Choose from 3 Types, Compatible with Time Warner, Brighthouse, and Charter Cable Boxes (Pack of 2, UR5U-8780L) by William Rothstein

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Ideal for Spectrum Box, Codes for my Samsung TV No.

Spectrum Cable and 4K Samsung Smart TV 2017 available. The "big button" remote came with the Spectrum and cannot be programmed for our Samsung TV, so I bought this older, previous version Spectrum remote hoping that would be the case. The remote control itself is great. Love all the different button options (that work on the Spectrum cable box). It also has a one button on/off switch that controls both the TV and the cable box so you don't have to turn them on separately. But I went through all the codes listed when trying to program this remote to it works with the buttons/options on my Samsung TV and it just doesn't work. The only thing it does is turn the TV on and off and adjust the volume. Also, unfortunately, the backlit thing is useless. Yes, each button on the remote control is illuminated in red, but you can't read the buttons in the dark! The font is too small and should be highlighted in white instead of red.
