For many people the standard TV remote controller is difficult to operate. For some people too many buttons can be confusing. Other people find that visually distinguishing among small buttons is a barrier. Still others find that motor difficulties can make pressing the correct button impossible. This section offers TV remote control options that may help overcome these barriers.
NOTE: When selecting AT for TV remote control, be sure to consider what kind of television it will be used with and which cable system if any. Here are a couple examples why this is important: Some remotes do not work with digital converter boxes/others do. Some remotes do not work with DISH and require cable/others work with all UHF sources.
