Review on πŸ“Ί Channel Master Simple Remote CM-7000XRC: Apple TV 4K Compatible Replacement Remote Control by Gary Reed

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Stupid choice of buttons for Apple TV 4k

If you're building this specifically for the Apple TV, why include the channel up and down buttons? They do absolutely nothing (at least on 4k). And why not include buttons to skip back to the beginning and skip to the next track? The Apple TV supports these buttons (at least for the IR remotes you're learning; not sure if the native ATV remote supports them). it would be much more useful if he could do that. Finally, I don't know what witchcraft they had to do for that IR remote to control the quad, not everyone is trained, but as I'm trying to teach the quad how to do ch-up and ch-day my skip-to -bn and skip In the end everything gets mixed up. I wish it was a blank slate and I could just teach the ATV box what to do with each button press.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Will do
