Question

Replacement for Magic Remote with fast-forward and rewind?

Oct 22, 2018 5:38AM PDT

Folks;

Just bought an OLED55C7P smart TV with Magic Remote. It's a good remote but I'd prefer to have physical fast-forward/rewind buttons, instead of on-screen via that button labeled "SAP" below the "9" button.

Have tried replacement universal remotes; finally realized the TV uses a mix of IR and Bluetooth for control, and the remotes have been IR only.

Where can I get a remote that will let me do what I can do with the Magic Remote (minus the pointer/mouse stuff, I don't care about that), and also has FF/rewind buttons?

I've Googled for answers and I'm kinda oriented towards one of the Logitech Harmony remotes, but can't find anything that explicitly confirms that using one won't cause me to lose some control that I currently have with the Magic Remote.

Thanks in advance.

What is fast forward and rewind on a TV? Last time I saw those was on the remote of my VCR.
