Doro HandleEasy 321RC Remote Control

Really was as simple as intended

I bought this for my 82yo mother-in-law who was getting increasingly confused operating the telly and STB. Often accidentally switching to DTV (no aerial) and getting upset that "the telly was broken again". I needed a really simple remote that would control the on/off of both devices, the volume on the TV and the channel up/down on the STB.

This did exactly that. OK. I had to programme the OFF button into another ON button for the STB (tipex on button face to avoid confusion) and ignored the AV button. Now she can happily press buttons without getting confused.

The programming is not intuitive and you will need to follow the instructions. But providing you do this it does work. Each button "learns" the code to transmit by copying the code sent by another control. The upside of this is that you can set the buttons up to do exactly what you want them to do. The downside is that you need to keep the old remotes and instructions safe. If the batteries go flat, you will need to reprogramme them. I guess you have a few minutes in which to change batteries without losing the programming. Exactly as you would with a SKY remote that controls the TV volume and on/off function.

Very much a "does what it says on the tin" moment.Read full review

I bought the Doro for a disabled person who cannot use his hands very well but has fairly good mental ability. The buttons which can be programmed are : on,off,volume and channel up and down. The buttons on the remote are large and easy to use. A brilliant remoteRead full review

Ideal TV Remote control

It’s just what my elderly mother needed to help her.It’s simple to use although the channel button runs forward to the next few channels if the button is pressed for too long. It is very useful. Wish there was a simple TV and remote for dementia sufferers to use.Read full review
