One of the perks of using a GE universal remote is that you can control not only your TV but also Blu-ray players, cable boxes, DVD players, etc. at the same time. You don’t need to use multiple remotes to control various devices.
If you lost your original TV remote or it is not working, buying a universal remote instead is the best option. This allows you to control multiple TVs, Blu-ray players, DVD players, etc., without maintaining separate remotes for all of them.
Before you can use the universal remote, you need to program it to the TV or other device.
If this is your first time using a GE universal remote, the programming side of things can be a little overwhelming.
In this article, I will explain how to program a GE universal remote to a TV, irrespective of the brand.
