I bought a second one for our other TV and of course the battery was dead as well

Second unit had a dead battery, it powers on the unit a little, just enough to make you get frustrated, a new battery solved the problems though.

Swapped all new batteries and still no dice.

It shares the batteries with the fire tv remote and that part works fine, so it’s just the addon is junk.

There should be a better battery set up.

Shortly after it learned the controls from my remote after multiple attempts to teach it somehow it managed to forget everything it learned afew hours afterwards then the battery died

I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars because the included battery was dead when I received the item

Works Ok but drains batteries amazingly fast

The piggyback was awesome, worked great etc..... less than 6 months later, it has used more batteries than I paid for the piggyback to start with and the programming button that burns amber has burned OUT.

Works flawlessly!One unit came with dead battery, minus one star for $2.40 dead battery

I don't know if my battery s dead that came with it, but I have to push the button several times before anything happens.

The remote also drains batteries much faster than expected

One had a dead battery on arrival, the second had a dead battery within 1 month and the 3rd is no longer functional

When I noticed (immediately) the remote not working well, I replaced the battery and it works perfectly

Not worth knocking a star off for the battery as I didn't buy it for the battery, I kinda expect batteries to be crap when I get a good deal.

You have to get close to the tv to adjust the volume, even with fresh batteries.

Horrible range and tiny battery.

Nice add on but drains batteries like crazy

... realized the canantilever design of the negative battery receptacle was non refractory, put folded piece of paper under and fixed.

battery dies fast and buttons don't always work

Battery didn't work and broke quickly

The remote also drains batteries much faster than expected

Uses an obscure round battery so when that dies it'll be a bit of a pain to replace.

The battery that came with the remote was no good

Make it with an easily replaceable battery and this is unbeatable!

I'm annoyed that the product shipped with a nearly-dead battery, but glad that it's all it was.

Did have issues with signal to tv but found that the battery that came with it was apparently nearly dead

I replaced the battery to make sure it was not a battery issue and still completely unresponsive.

I tried a new battery, and no dice.

Would have given it five stars, but it showed up with a dead battery.

I stop using the remote becuase ir was draining the battery too fast

Replaced with a fresh maxell battery and it made a world of difference

REMOTE NOW, I love the product so much it didnt bother me that the battery that shipped with it came dead, as soon as I put a new battery in it this thing has worked flawlessly

BUT we use it daily and the battery is a big pain..

Weak battery and buttons are too small.

The batteries died kind of quick and are hard to find quickly.

It keeps draining the batteries from the firestick.

Works as you’d hope it would

I really wanted this to work as it is a great idea and one of the most economic and simple solutions out there for adding basic t.v controls to your fire stick remote (in theory).However, after about a
