Product Description
The Tek Pal is the easiest to see and easiest to USE large-button available. With only 6 large, lighted buttons, the Tek Pal only does what you need with your television. Lost remotes, frustrating setup instructions and hard-to-read buttons are a thing of the past. Tek Pal boils TV remote control technology down to be as simple as possible. The Tek Partner and Big Button universal remote controls are the largest remotes on the market. The large, lit-up buttons allow those with vision impairments to easily control their televisions, VCRs, DVD players as well as satellite and cable boxes. The size of the remotes also ensure that they will not get lost between the couch cushions! These universal remote controls were designed specifically for people who may be visually impaired, allowing them to operate their home entertainment devices all from one large, lighted-button universal remote control. Hy-Tek offers 2 different remotes to choose from, the extra-large Tek Partner remote and the sleeker Big Button remote.

 Perfect TV Remote December 31, 2007

This remote control was perfect for my 94-year-old mother. She had a minor stroke which affected her already poor memory. I often found her sitting in silence in her apartment because she forgot how to operate her CD player and her standard 57,000 button TV remote control. I searched the local stores for a VERY SIMPLE remote control but could not find it so I was very excited to see that Amazon had this 6-button remote. It's been perfect! It was easy to set it up to use with Mom's TV and she's had no trouble reading and using the large, lighted buttons. Get this remote for your elderly parent or relative! It's exactly what Mom needed. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't mind having it for myself! Now, I just have to find a simple CD player!
Worked like a charm January 23, 2008

I bought this remote for elderly friends who were getting extremely frustrated with the complex remote on their new TV. It turned out the small buttons quickly resulted in one of them hitting one for some option other than changing channels, etc. As a result their new TV was frequently getting locked up until someone could go over and get it out of whatever function was stopping them from simply watching TV.
Once I set up the Tek Pal for them (quick and dead simple) all their problems with the TV went away. Almost every time I see them now they remark how happy they are with it and thus their new TV.
The Tek Pal does exactly what it says it does.
Just a great product January 6, 2009

A must buy for older folks with memory loss! Two minutes max to setup. Works great on an anolog set with cable.
One suggestion..label the VOL + - as loud soft. For an 87 year old even the plus and minus signs are confusing.

Great remote for people with memory loss or dementia May 8, 2008

I bought this remote for my Grandmother who lives in a nursing home. She has Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Every time I would visit her I'd have to figure out how to reprogram her remote because she always finds that one button that clears the memory for the remote. I bought her this remote and she loves it, and better yet, can't un-program it. She says this is the best gift she's ever gotten and tells everyone who comes to see her. This is the best 20 bucks I've ever spent.
The Answer to a real problem. January 3, 2009

I care for an elderly gentleman with Alzheimer's disease. He stopped watching television because of the difficulty dealing with the remote. I've tried other remotes but somehow he would erase it's settings. This remote isn't so easy to de-program. It's great. Thanks.
