Junk!

It won’t even connect to my LG blu-ray player!

Stopped working.

Used to be handy for volume and source control but has recently just stopped working completely. Shame as no others seem to work with my Blu-Ray player.

Garbage

I was able to use it once. Now it won’t connect to the dvd player. All connections are fine. I was hoping to use this as backup because the remote control is a piece of garbage as well.
IRIt’s Garbage, reiterated
