This category covers TV remote controls and cables for connecting a television to players, sound systems, computers and the network. Our range includes over 600 products, and the most prominent brands are LANBERG, ALANTEC, GOOBAY and SAVIO.
It is the place to look when you need to replace a broken remote or find a cable with the right length and connectors.
How to choose a TV remote or cable
Connector type. Start by checking which connections your TV and the connected device have: HDMI, optical audio, USB, aerial or network (Ethernet). Both ends of the cable must match them, otherwise you will need an adapter.
Standard. HDMI cables differ in what they can carry. 4K at a high frame rate, a recent games console or an 8K screen calls for a cable marked HDMI 2.1 or Ultra High Speed, while plain Full HD works fine with an older standard.
Length. Measure along the wall or furniture rather than in a straight line, and allow some slack. For runs longer than a few metres, an active or optical HDMI cable may be needed, because the signal in an ordinary cable can weaken.
Plug or socket. In our range, most cables have male plugs at both ends, but some have a female socket at one end. These are used to extend an existing cable or as a short adapter. Most cables are black, with a few in white or grey.
Remote compatibility. An original remote is chosen by TV manufacturer and exact model, which you will find on the label at the back of the TV or in the settings menu. Universal remotes are usually programmed with a manufacturer code, but they may lack the voice control or Bluetooth connection that some newer original remotes use.

Frequently asked questions about TV remotes and cables
Which HDMI cable suits a 4K TV?
A cable marked High Speed or Ultra High Speed suits 4K. For 4K at 120 Hz on a games console, choose an HDMI 2.1 cable. Both devices must also support the feature, since a cable cannot go beyond what the screen or source can do.
How do I find the right remote for my TV?
Choose the remote by the TV manufacturer and exact model. The model code is on the label at the back of the TV or in the settings menu. The old remote can help too, as it often carries a code that identifies the same or a compatible replacement.
Does a universal remote work with every TV?
A universal remote works with many TVs, but not all of them. Before buying, check that your TV manufacturer is on the list of supported brands. Some functions, such as voice control, may be missing on a universal remote.
What is the difference between male and female connectors?
A male connector is a plug, and a female connector is the socket that the plug goes into. Most connecting cables have plugs at both ends. Cables with a socket at one end are made to extend an existing cable or to connect through an adapter.
