Samsung's Smart TVs Will Have a Universal Remote for Controlling All Yur Connected Devices -
By Paul Sawers/ CES 2016/ VB/ VentureBeat.com.

"Samsung aims to make simplicity a core facet of its 2016 Smart TV range, with a new universal remote control and an upgraded Smart Hub user interface.

Most modern living rooms will likely have a plethora of devices connected to the big-screen TV, such as Blu-ray players, games consoles, video-streaming boxes, and other devices. As such, there will likely be a myriad of remote controls strewn across the room — and this is a problem Samsung wants to solve with the Samsung Smart Control..."

I've come to the conclusion there's no such thing as a universal remote. Seems there's always something they don't do. Try finding one with a tray eject button. I got a "universal remote" with my Bose theater system. It doesn't have a tray eject button. The remote also doesn't control the volume on the TV. I called Bose tech support about this. They said you have to get up to put a disk in or take one out, so just push the button on the DVD player while you're there. As for the volume control, they said they assumed a customer would always be using the Bose sound system, so why be able to control the TV? My DVD player doesn't have any buttons, and I only use the Bose system when I'm watching a movie. I still have to use multiple remotes.
