Universal remote controls for TV and Smart TV: the best models and how to choose the right one

INFRARED TECHNOLOGY

Vivanco universal TV remote controls use infrared technology, with an operating range of at least 8 metres. In practice, they transmit commands to the TV via infrared light pulses: the television receives the signal and interprets it to perform the requested action.

This solution is appreciated for its reliability and has long become a standard in everyday use. It is no coincidence that it is also used in many common household appliances. Its widespread adoption is also due to its low invasiveness: it requires no wired connections and is completely invisible to the naked eye, ensuring ease of use and practicality.

WHAT IS THE BRAND OF YOUR TV?

How can you be sure that a new remote control is truly compatible with your TV? The first requirement to check is whether it supports devices from the brand of your television. Vivanco offers remote controls designed to work with many brands, including Samsung, Philips, Sony, LG, Hisense, TCL and Xiaomi, to name just a few.

To choose the right model, identify the exact model of your TV: this is usually indicated in the TV settings, on the original packaging or in the user manual. Then, check the product page of the Vivanco remote control you’re interested in and make sure your TV model is listed among the supported ones.

FOR TRADITIONAL TVs OR SMART TVs?

The latest-generation televisions offer increasingly advanced features, making them true Smart TVs. These models can connect to the internet, access major streaming apps, interact with smartphones and external devices, and much more.

If quick access to these features is important to you and you want to reach streaming services with a single command, you can choose Vivanco remote controls with dedicated app buttons. This allows you to start films and TV series without unnecessary steps.

In general, Vivanco remote controls are designed to be compatible with both traditional LCD TVs and Smart TVs, ensuring ease of use and versatility.

CONTROL MULTIPLE DEVICES WITH A SINGLE REMOTE

If you need a remote control capable of managing several devices at the same time, such as a TV, DVD player and satellite decoder, Vivanco offers a range of solutions designed just for you.

Within the range, you’ll find multifunction remote controls such as the 12-in-1, 5-in-1 and 2-in-1 models, specifically created for multi-device control. The 12-in-1 remote, for example, can operate up to 12 electronic devices using a single accessory.

This way, you’ll have just one remote to manage all the entertainment in your living room, keeping everything simple and well organised.
