Review: 2 remotes combined to 1 - This worked great. I was able to program the channel buttons to work the cable box, but the volume buttons to work the TV. This circumvents so much confusion for my elderly mother!
Review: Easy to program and lightweight. - So this device is lightweight. It's for my mom who is 96 years old. Love the simple buttons. We'll see how she wears them out since she likes to press the buttons a lot.She likes to channel surf. Now, programming, it took 5 minutes, it's easier to read the instructions than play the video. If you just think simple point the two remotes together, let the lights blink, do their magic, program it's done. Be cautious to read the instructions precisely. And you should have no problems. Watch those blinking lights, and when they're not blinking. Match whatever button you want to the other one.It should be no problem. The only reason it shouldn't work if there's no infrared LED to send a signal out on the original remote. Which was stated in the instructions.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with Amazon firestick?**
A: Hi Jason
I'm afraid not.  It looks like Amazon fire TV sticks use bluetooth not infrared so the TabTime remote will not be able to pair with it.
Kind regards
The TabTime Team

**Q: does this work with a vizio smart tv?**
A: Hello
I’m not familiar with this TV but the TabTime remote can only be paired with an infra-red remote control not a Bluetooth remote.
To work out whether your remote is infra-red please try the following. Take a look in the manual of your tv or go to your tv’s settings and choose the remote menu. You should then be able to find whether it’s infra-red or Bluetooth.
If that doesn’t work place your hand over the front of the control while you press a button. If it continues to work then it’s not an infra-red remote and therefore it won’t work with the TabTime remote. 
If it doesn’t work then it’s probably an infrared remote and should work with the TabTime remote control.
I hope that helps.
Kind regards
The TabTime Team

### ⭐ Junk TV Remote
*by S***T on October 8, 2023*

Fussy to program, and the Channel Up and Down buttons don’t seem to use a “Debounce” electronic circuit, so one press jumps two channels instead of one as the press echos in the circuit. Basic button application electronics oversight. Poor design. Maybe I’ll gut it for some components to use in my own projects. As it came to me, it’s not at all fit for its intended use, which was to control my TV with. Volume control, and mute work. Channel “Up & “Down” buttons skip channels two at a time. As is, the most expensive AAA batteries I’ve ever purchased.
