Works right out of the box with no fuss; as good as the original
My husband accidently put our old remote in the washing machine and destroyed it. I expected that we would have to find a code or do some other gymnastics to program it, but it worked the moment we received it and it's identical to the last one we had. In the Tell Us More section, I put "no" on "Is it easy to use>" I'm assuming if you're buying it, you've had one before, and it does have a bit of a learning curve, and after a year, I'm still learning, but it has terrific features like a guide that gives you a synopsis of your program as well as as a full 24-hour display of programming, and a reminder to you to change the channel before your program begins. You can also program your stations so that you can hit a number, and the remote takes you there immediately. This was well worth the money my husband paid to replace the original.
