Your smart TV remote is missing—again. Maybe it's stuck between cushions, lost in a pile of laundry, or simply vanished.

Universal remotes used to be simple tools ... You can also use it to substitute the Bluetooth remote of your smart TV by choosing Third-party Control instead of Import Existing Appliances.

They've been popular items since then, justifying their high cost (compared to other universal remotes) with smart features and internet connectivity that play nice with elaborate home theater setups.
