TabTime Big Button TV Remote Control - Easy to Use and Set Up - Universal - Basic Television Remote Control - Dementia Friendly Gifts (Silver)

I bought the TabTime Big Button TV Remote and I’m quite pleased with it. The design is very simple and works exactly as advertised: it has seven large, clearly labeled buttons that cover all the essential functions, power on/off, volume up/down, channel up/down, mute, so you don’t get overwhelmed with unnecessary extras. Only needed this for the power and volume, so much more user-friendly than a load of unnecessary buttons on a remote. Setup was straightforward: the remote uses infrared and learns the controls from your existing remote. Functionally, it works reliably with my TV, the buttons respond correctly and the large button layout makes using the remote comfortable and intuitive, even for people who struggle with small buttons or complicated remotes. Given the price, it offers very good value. If you want a no-frills, easy-to-use replacement remote, especially suitable for elderly users, people with limited dexterity or anyone who dislikes modern over-complicated remotes, this is a solid choice that I'd highly recommend.

Caring for a 93 year old Mum. It became clear that Mum could not see the buttons on her normal remote. And she was confused by all the channels. Got her a new, larger tv. That allowed me to set up a favourites list of channels, just BBC1, BBC 2, ITV1 and Channel 4. All other channels are hidden. I programmed the remote as you would expect, but with the spare black button, top right, programmed as the number 1, which gets her direct to BBC 1. She now has a very simple setup which she understands and can control. It was lovely to see her feeling in control and not frustrated.

Didn't work with TV

Bought for my elderly mother who has memory issues and had been struggling with her complicated tv remote… easy to install and set up. Couldn’t get the ‘-‘ buttons to work for channel a and volume so rather than give up, i emailed the company who replied with instructions immediately. It worked so im super happy! Have ordered a second one for her second tv! Brilliant!

Very helpful for my mum who has dementia, I have noticed after a couple of months, its the first remote she goes for, very pleased with purchase. Fast delivery

My dad has extreme confusion and is in a nursing home. He got to the point where he could barely watch his beloved TV as the remote control had to many buttons and was far to confusing for him - it made him very frustrated. This remote was soooooo easy to set up using the video that the seller kindly sent me. Dad is now sooooo happy that he can go through his TV channels with no fear of pressing the wrong button. All dad needed was a button for channel up and down and volume and this remote has exactly that. The extra button which can be tuned to any button from the original remote is a great idea. I tuned it to Channel 1 so when dad gets to channel 75, for example, he can easily go back to channel 1. With my dad becoming suddenly ill like this and our family being so inexperienced with this illness, I think there should be a whole catalogue advertising similar gadgets for elderly people- maybe placed in nursing homes for relatives. There you go “Tab Time”- a new marketing idea Just don’t forget my share of the profits you make!!!!!!

The best bits.. just a few large buttons on the remote for changing the volume and the TV stations! Perfect just whats required and makes the remote easy to operate. The worst bits... I could not get it to synch with the channel up and down buttons with two separate Virgin Media remotes for my Virgin remote and my mums (video attached - see how it rapidly pulsates when I programme the volume up and down buttons, but nothing when I attempt to program the channel change up/down buttons). Also holding the volume up/down buttons did not automatically increase or decrease the volume with the tv for me. I had to press the buttons repeatedly to get the volume to increase and decrease.

Diese programmierbare Fernbedienung mit wenigen Knöpfen ist genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Sie reduziert die Bedienung auf das Wesentliche: Einfache Tasten für Lautstärke, Senderwechsel und Ein/Aus, ohne unnötige Funktionen, die verwirren könnten. Die Einrichtung war schnell und unkompliziert – innerhalb weniger Minuten konnte ich sie auf den Fernseher meines Vaters anpassen. Meine Erfahrungen: Mein demenzkranker Vater hatte große Schwierigkeiten mit herkömmlichen Fernbedienungen, da sie oft zu viele Tasten und komplizierte Menüs haben. Mit dieser Fernbedienung kann er nun endlich wieder selbstständig den Fernseher bedienen, ohne ständig um Hilfe zu bitten. Das bedeutet für ihn ein großes Stück Selbstständigkeit und Lebensqualität im Pflegeheim. Klare Kaufempfehlung! Wer eine einfache, seniorengerechte Fernbedienung für Angehörige sucht, die mit Technik nicht mehr gut zurechtkommen, wird hier fündig. Es war das Beste, was ich für meinen Vater kaufen konnte!

Çok kolay programlandı. Annem çabucak kavradı. Teşekkürler.

Perfetto e semplice sia nell'uso che nella programmazione.

Sencillo y nada mas,recomendable para gente de edad

Originally bought this for elderly relative who couldnt see / use normal remote any longer. Doesnt help that modern TV's often come with DVD / Internet etc so many confusing buttons. As eyesight fails, this is perfect. Easy to set up, really sturdy, has stood the test of time.
