Hisense Smart TV

I purchased a Smart TV which is not yet a year old and the remote has stopped functioning. Upon contacting Hisense advised that the TV carries the 4 year warranty but the remote not as these only have 3 month's warranty which was not indicated upon purchase and that the remote should be replaced every time this stops functioning indicating that a new remote could be purchased every three months.<br> <br> Does this sound credible after having other Hisense products amongst other brands whose remotes are still functioning after 5 years and some exceeding 10 years?
