I’m looking for one universal remote with a mini qwerty keyboard on the backside that will allow me to control:
1. Amazon Fire TV with Kodi installed (controlled via 2.4g or bluetooth signal)
2. Samsung TV with antenna for over the air channels (controlled via infrared remote signal)
3. Volume control for Sony stereo connected to Samsung TV audio output (controlled via infrared remote signal)
I’ve found a number of remotes that seek to combine these functions, but none seem to check all the boxes. I thought that I had found one that would work:
But it didn’t. I couldn’t get it to learn my Samsung TV remote. It also had problems correctly mapping some keys to my Amazon TV.
The real selling point of the remote above was that it had many programmable infrared keys. The problem with most remotes I see is that the number of infrared keys that can be programmed is limited to 5. I need 6:
1. Volume up
2. Volume down
3. TV on/off
4. Channel up
5. Channel Down
6. TV input (switches between OTA and Fire TV input)
In addition to those six infrared keys, I also want a mini qwerty keyboard on the backside.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks!
