First, it is difficult to say which mass medium is "better"-- both serve entirely different purposes. Radio is a more intimate medium, since it talks to you directly. Radio is more portable (you can listen while driving, for example) and can be taken anywhere. On the other hand, television is a more interesting medium for many people because it is visual and you can see (in addition to hear) what is happening. But critics of TV say television makes you focus too much on the physical appearance of the speakers, rather than on the points they are trying to make; and critics of radio say it makes you focus too much on whether the person has a pleasing speaking voice, rather than on what the person's message is.

So, depending on what you prefer, you may find radio's portability to be a benefit, and you may find radio is better for some purposes-- such as getting the news and weather, or hearing your favorite hit songs, or listening to a call-in talk show. But TV has many fans and millions of viewers; they believe it is better than radio for watching a news event unfolding, watching an entertaining drama or comedy, or watching a program that lets you see what is happening in distant countries or exotic locations. Thus, there are good points and bad points about both of these mass media, and each is important in its own way.

How do you make a remote control have better range?

First you can check the battery. If has no more energy or very little left, then I recommend you change the battery. After that you can make sure that nothing is blocking the receiving end of the signal. That means the television receiver and the TV box. That should help with getting better range. Hope this helps.
