lappir Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 My not very old Samsung TV remote had a battery leaking when I changed out the batteries recently. Now it will work for a few minutes and then quit. I have tried to clean out as much of the leak as possible, but still having issues. TV has a single button for all functions so using without a remote is as bad as texting on a flip phone. (or worse.) I found several phone apps and one that works but is not really user friendly. A few of the others I looked at wanted a lot of information that I am unwilling to share. My question, Would you choose a replacement "universal" remote? or keep searching for a Smart phone app?

Biker56 Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Replace your Samsung remote with the same. I use a DirecTV RF remote to control my Samsung 55" 4K Smart and 24" Samsung LED plus at times their own controller to change inputs.

Chalkie Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 We use Logitech Harmony remotes in the RV and the S&B. They are easy to program and then basically make it a one button operation to watch TV, watch a DVD, listen to music... whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
