- Does this remote work with the Shield TV Pro?
- Yes. It is the standard remote for both Shield TV and Shield TV Pro and pairs over Bluetooth.
- Does it need batteries or does it charge?
- It runs on AAA batteries. There is no built-in rechargeable battery or charging port.
- Can it control my TV's power and volume?
- Yes. It has an IR emitter, so it can send power and volume commands to most TVs after setup.
- Are the buttons backlit?
- No. The buttons are not backlit, so they are hard to see in a dark room.
- Can I program extra buttons or macros?
- No. The remote is not programmable and has no macro function.
- Is this remote a good value?
- It is the only first-party remote for the Shield line, so you pay for guaranteed pairing and voice search rather than for extra features. Third-party remotes often add backlighting or a rechargeable battery but may lose voice search or IR control.
