A range of four low cost universal remotes has been launched by market leader One For All, to help make digital TV easier to control.
Essence 2 costs just £12.99 and features ‘combi-control’. It will operate the TV and set top box at the same time – there’s no need to change modes, let alone switch between two different remotes.
The Essence range is really easy to programme too. To set up a Samsung TV, for example, just press the ‘Magic’ key, press the ‘TV’ key, then press and hold the ‘7’ digit until the TV switches off. That’s it! This three button SimpleSet system, works for all the most popular brands. No more searching for code numbers, you’ll be up and running in minutes.
The Essence 3 model costs £14.99 and operates three devices – TV, satellite/cable/freeview box and DVD. It has the same pre-installed combi-control and SimpleSet features, and comes in white instead of black.
Four devices can be controlled by Essence 4 – TV, (in our picture); satellite/cable/freeview box, DVD, plus amplifier/tuner or home cinema unit. It also has a ‘learning’ feature, which means you can copy any function from the original remote onto any key of the Essence 4.
Priced £17.99.
The range is completed by the Essence TV, an ideal digital TV replacement remote, at £9.99.
The Essence TV is compatible with both traditional and digital TV, so buying now is a future-proof decision. There’s also a 160 degree infra red lens, so it can be operated at just about any angle.
With its easy menu navigation and set up, the new Essence range simplifies digital TV viewing and reduces clutter.
