I have an MX-700 and an MX-850 learning, macro-programmable remotes. Both can be used with the same programming software (it's a neat feature, once I set up one of them, I can download the exact same file to each and they work identically!).

I recently bought three 43" TCL 4K Roku TVs and a couple Magnavox 4K MBP6700P disc players. The Magnavox 4K disc player remotes are tiny and difficult to use, especially in a dark room (as in playing a movie). I programmed the MX remotes, but am one remote shy. They are available used, but in iffy condition and not as cheap as they used to be.

I figure I can get a new learning remote that will control two devices (a TCL 43" 4K Roku TV and a Magnavox 4K disc player), cheaply... doesn't need to be programmable with macros. Basically, more than anything, it needs to be easy to use in the dark... prominent buttons, ergonomic design. And, of course, it needs to be able to control those two devices, either by learning the infrared frequencies of the commands from the devices' remotes or by punching in the appropriate code for each device.

Ideas? Thanks!

I have been using an URC7935 for a simple setup, and I think it satisfies most of your requirements. Fully JP1-able. Possibly too few buttons though, 24.

The 7935 doesn't have disc codes in it, only streamers, tv's, and soundbars. The OP would need a jp-1 cable.

Look at the Interset 422-3, it will give access to 0-9 keys for the 43 Roku Tv, to change channels directly using the LiveTV feature or Antenna. The code to use 14398.

Others are talking about this remote in main jp-1 threads but this Onn 6 Universal remote:

https://www.walmart.com/ip/onn-R113663-6-Device-Universal-Remote/747238608?athbdg=L1100

Makes a great Roku tv remote, and cost is only $11.88 at Walmart. It's a Learning remote in addition to accepting advanced codes (EFC).

I ordered it at 12:45 am and had it delivered at 10:00 am later in the same day.
