Do you ever find yourself getting frustrated with all these newfangled remote controls? You don’t need to remember a time when remote controls were a novelty to feel this frustration. Once you finally learn how to use your TV, it seems like stores are trying to force you to buy new universal remotes. Get rid of all those separate remotes! Never struggle with losing them again! Change channels with ease!

But all of the extra features that make TV remote controls more “user friendly” often seem to exacerbate frustrating situations. Even something as simple as being wireless can cause unforeseen problems, since the absence of wires makes it that much easier to lose TV remotes. To make matters worse, many newer electronics don’t even have physical buttons on the device with which to operate. Unless you have a remote for these devices, you can’t use them at all.

Opting for a universal remote?
The thing is, when you lose your original TV remotes, the universal remotes you can buy can’t handle all of the functions of the original TV remotes. You shouldn’t have to limit the amount of functions you can use on your TV or other electronic device just because the remote can’t control that function; after all, when you pay so much money for big-screen TVs and expensive sound systems, you should be able to take advantage of every extra feature.

The Solution?
Finding replacement remote controls for TVs is often the best option. Good suppliers of replacement remote controls will offer a variety of different brands of replacement TV remotes (especially if these brands are based in the U.S.) and finding the perfect match for your device is easy. If you can locate the model number on the back of the corresponding device, you can use that number to order a replacement which is exactly the same as the original. Not only does this make sure that you can still use all of the features, but you also don’t have to become accustomed to (another) brand new remote.

Technology these days develops quickly — almost too quickly, for many people. Sometimes finding the newest model isn’t what you want, nor is it what you need. Unfortunately, electronics companies will probably keep on producing devices that each need their own remote control; try as we might, it’s nearly impossible to stop this. But you can take some control and decide to keep things as simple as possible. Looking for replacement remote controls whenever your original remote goes M.I.A. is one of the little things you can do to retain your sanity in this crazy digital world.
