At its most basic, a common TV setup involves a sound system, a cable box and a DVD player, which means that you're often left with a handful of remotes—this cheap remote control from Chunghop provides a low-cost alternative to the many expensive universal TV controllers on the market.
The 139EX Portable Universal TV Remote Controller is priced at just over $5, featuring the 39 buttons for everything you'd possibly want to do, such as channel setting, exchanging data and PIP. The simple remote control is optimized for use with TV sets of all sorts, including TV brands that may be old, foreign or popular in the current market. The remote control powered by two AA batteries might not be the flashiest one out there, but it's definitely an affordable do-it-all option.
