Thank you! I just bought the Roku Streaming Stick and was having trouble with the volume control. After looking all over online, your video helped me discover the volume control on the side. (Feeling a bit dumb, but glad I found your video.)
I have had two Roku tvs. Love them. Just got a new one last week. Never had a remote with a private listening/ head/earphone jack. I thought the newer one I got would have it, nope. I want one.
Just make sure when you're looking at the new remote that it says it works with a Roku TV. The remotes on showing here when I made this video were for Roku set-top boxes.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews I just discovered today that the Roku phone app works as a remote control and you can listen to your Roku tv using your earbuds or headphones plugged into your phonejack, this is pretty cool. But still would like an actual remote control that has a jack. For some reason even the Roku company is not selling them, and no available on Amazon.

Thanks for posting that link. I wish I had checked your video first. I ordered a remote to replace my old one, and there was no pair button on it. After watching several videos that were only about enhanced remotes, I went to the roku site and got the same info that is on the link you posted. All I did to get mine to work was stand close to TV and point remote at sensor. I started pushing buttons on the new remote, and it started working. Yoy are helping a lot of people. Cheers.
I bought the Sideclick for my Roku 4, which is like poorly duct taping a universal remote to the side of the Roku remote, because I didn’t know Roku sold replacements that could control TV volume and power. However, the Roku website charges $5 for shipping, and Amazon does not sell the Enhanced remote at all. Not sure I’m willing to pay $35 for something that should have been included in the first place.
I wish Roku would create a remote control that had the station numbers on it. As a Comcast customer, trying to find stations via the Xfinity streaming app is tedious. And the Xfinity app doesn't seem to recognize and/or respond to voice commands. WRZ 2021-05-28 Delaware County, PA
why don't you also mention that #3 has the power button and #2 does not have a power button? Also, not all remotes are compatible with ALL Rokus. Some of the remotes do not work on Sticks. Some only work with Sticks and some are not compatible with version 4000 box, etc.
Power button I thought was self explanitory as you could see that. Aslo, there are much newer remotes now that are really stream lined and work with just about every Roku.
@ thanks a lot for the information. I have a Roku Express box with audio remote control and every single one I bought other than the original are either without the power or volume buttons or are not compatible. Any suggestions?
It's a purple fabric tag that says Roku. It's been part of their branding since the company started. We used to have it sticking out of the set-top box as well.
Can you get the one with the power and volume to work on one that didnt come with power and volume. I would like to only need the roku remote and not have to mess with the remote for the tv anymore
No it should work as long as you put the batteries in and point it towards your Roku. If it's not immediately picked up you can use the Roku app on a smartphone to manually go through and do what I did to force the Roku to look for the new remote.
Question here...I just cut the cord and bought two Rokus. One Ultra (so I can have a wired connection) and one Streaming stick plus. The streaming stick plus has a remote with a direct tv shortcut button. The ultra has a cbsaccess button. I don’t care about being able to hook up ear buds. I really want the directvnow since that and Netflix are how we watch tv. On the website it only lists the one remote with the port for the ultra. Will the remote from the streaming stick work (far right in your video) on the ultra? They both have pairing buttons
Yes there should be no issue. However, the fast connection ig Netflix, Hulu button is not a given. It all depends on who they are partnering with at the time.
Wanderer001 I thought it would work since it had a pairing button. I just really want the same remote with that button. I have no interest I. The remote with the A B button or headset jack.
As said you can pair the Stick remote to Ultra, but you can just unplug the stick, and its remote will switch from WIFI to IR for roku commands. This goes for the Ultra remote with tv power key as well. So the current Roku WIFI remotes are RF when paired to Roku, but if not paired, or the roku its paired with is unplugged, its IR. This isn't helpful when it comes to stick, but if you have universal remote missing roku commands, these new roku remotes could be used to program them. Like getting the direct-access keys like cbs-all access into your universal remote.
i have a 3400x roku stick from 5 years or 6 years ago and i plugged it into an old ELEMENT TV just now and it worked for some reason. even the old element remote works with it. the pause button only works once in a while and maybe i will try getting that stick remote you showed on the right for 20 dollars. how do i order that. is there a model number?
I got a roku premiere and my other roku remotes doesn't have a pairing button and it doesn't work on it. Stupid premiere doesn't have volume and power button
I restarted my Roku Stick, and it's asking me to hit the reset button. My controller is lost and my Roku controller app is not pairing. Is there any hope, other than ordering a new remote??
Wanderer001 I think so. I held that button down on the stick. It’s asking me to press the pairing button on the remote. I cannot do anything or get farther than that.
Wanderer001 There’s a UA-cam video of a guy communicating with the Roku box by connecting to his computer, and is able to communicate on the same network. I’m assuming the box is different than the stick,
One must press "invisible buttons" when in a dark room to operate the Roku remote. Why can't they place a backlit system in the remote so you can use it in the dark without the use of a smart phone?
I say that about my optimum remote also. Have many universal remotes that. Have lights but can’t program like you said can’t see anything with no lights on and a black remote
I have 2 Roku TV's that I bought in 2019. One is a Magnavox and the other is an RCA. Apparently these old school US brand names have been licensed to some Chinese Company (?) They both use the same type of remote and I can use them interchangeably. The RCA will operate the Magnavox and vice versa. Neither one has a pairing button. They are most similar to the remote on the far right, but neither one has the microphone button in the middle. They both have 4 dedicated buttons at the bottom and both have Roku, Netflix, & hulu. One has ESPN and the other has Sling. They both use AAA batteries. My only question is how can I determine if the TV's are Roku 3 or Roku 4 ? And what is the difference ?
I'm not as familiar with the modeling for the Roku TVs I would say probably anyting coming out from like TLC should be a Roku 4 in 2020 and Roku 3 as of 2019.
I have 3 roku TVs on a brand new remote control and it will not pair with my TV. But it works with my other roku T v's. It has voice and it has a reset but still will not pair to my t v
My remote does not have no volume button, no voice ( but I cant remove the voice which I hate) and it does not turn my tv on. I just got it because my stick was getting too hot! How do I get rid of voice control 😛
You have to press down on the back plate a little and at the same time move it down ward. It helps if you use two hands to do it if it is giving you an issue.
The control that comes with the Roku Streaming Stick seems to be cheaply made compared to earlier models. I've worn out 2 of them in the past 9 months, always the right button on the directional pad. You're constantly pressing right in practically every streaming service in order to scroll through menus and video lists, so it would make sense to me to reinforce that pad somehow. My remotes for older model Rokus all still work perfectly, even after years of regular use. It's my only real complaint with Roku, and I've been using them since their first unit.
I like my older fatter remote compaired to the new ones that have come out. The great thing is I can pair the old remote to the new Roku and still use the one I like, or have two remotes for one Roku device. Never have to worry about not knowing where one is.
After playing with a firestick I would have to agree. However it does look like the new Ultra that will be coming out this year we'll have a mute button.
I have a Sanyo roku TV I have tried to pair my headphones but it won't work......so I'm looking to buy the replacement remote in can plug my headphones into. Problem is I don't know which one to buy, or if it will work......I don't have a smartphone so that way is out of the question. Can anyone help me. Thanks.
They have streamed lined the remote offerings from when I made this video. To get what you are looking for you are going to need the Enhanced voice remote.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews sadly I can't find what I'm looking for it's not compatible with my Sanyo roku TV , and I tried the Sanyo web site too but no go. Since it was a gift I should complain but it's not my choice of Brands for tvs .Thanks for the suggestion
@@dawniedee30 I am sorry but if there is not a compatible remote listed on the site it might not be a supported tv anymore. I have to say I myself have never heard of a Sanyo Roku TV.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews The Enhanced Voice Remote will work with Roku tv's with these model numbers: Roku TV (model series 6000X, 7000X, C000X, 8000X, A000X) My Series 5 43" TCL Roku tv is 7116x and works with headphone jack on the Enhanced voice remote. Where my Insignia and hisense Roku tv's don't.
My Roku streaming stick does not control the TV power for my LG...really weird. You would think it would be able to. LG is not that old..like under 2 years.
Did you know the newer roku remotes with TV IR capabilities were able to emit IR for Roku commands as well? If the remote isn't paired to roku, or if the roku it is paired with is unplugged, the roku will switch to IR for roku commands. The IR isn't useful for sticks, but can be useful programming a universal to control a roku console. The newer direct access keys like CBS-AA or DTV-Now usually show up on the WIFI remote before coming out on IR roku remote. Now WIFI remotes are IR as well.
I'm sorry you're wrong. I'm only referring to the remote on the right, the one with power key, in your picture. Test this, with your roku plugged in, point the remote at the camera of your cell phone, press tv key, you see a flash, press roku command nothing. Now unplug the roku's power and do the test again, you'll see flashes for ALL keys. This goes newer Ultra rc-al4 remotes, 3800 & 3810 rc-al2 stick remotes. I know my way around remotes, I have over 13000 posts helping people on remote central. I'm edmund there.
I also have three Roku remote types. The gaming remote will control my (vizio and sony) sound bar without setup as it works through hdmi and wifi. The voice remote can only control the bars with IR (need line of sight). The enhanced voice remote (brand new) will control neither as there are less codes available for this one. It will try only one Sony code for example when the basic one tries multiple. Both voice ones must be using wifi to send the voice command, so why can't they also control the bars the same way the gaming one does without setup, makes zero sense. Also depending on which roku I am setting up the control for, I will have different brand options for controlling the tv. One stick will show Epson for my projector, and the ultra doesn't have epson. So I have to program on the stick roku for the tv and then reconnect to the ultra. This has been a major wtf to figure all this out, which I haven't yet done to my satisfaction. The remotes are clearly getting worse the newer they are.
Is there a phone number so they could walk me through the problem! I get no lights at all on my remote! Cox use to have a number!! But that won't help me now! Thanxs
Mine is different then those. Mine is Roku Express. The 4 bottom buttons are netflix, Roku channel,google play and the last one is CBS all access. No pairing button on bottom. No power button at all. I found your video when I searched how do I turn off my Roku Express. 🤦🏻♂️Still no answers..
The remote there on the right must've come with the 3800 stick, ie: it looks exactly like the point anywhere remote I received with my 3800 stick. Works just about any IR commanded TV nicely and also works fully with my 3600 Roku. So if you have a 3600 and need a remote, this will provide all the 3800 features (it does in my case).
The newest remotes (not shown in this video) also include a mute button on the side just below the volume buttons Your smart phone works better than any of these remotes and also includes the best feature - private listening.
Yats of the time I made this video they did not have the remotes with the mute button. Which in my view are a game-changer and a necessity. I do like that they added functionality can the Roku app for private listening mode. However I have family members who don't have smartphones so the remote is their best bet.
Yeah, but the Roku App on my LG G4 burns through the battery power quickly therefore I must keep my G4 plugged into a power socket and when I want to change to a different show I have to get out of the chair, pickup my G4 and if I am lucky I didn't lose the wireless connection [yeah it stinks we have slow DSL] and change to a different Stream. IT sucks because I remember when TVs didn't have remote controls! I still hope to fix my Roku remote's pairing issue and/or purchase a new remote
@@ashelythompson884 That's sad because I have 20NNTCL roku T is and it don't work on either one of them either cannot parrot. Can't? Do. Anything? They tell me you have to do a hard set for the factory reset. Don't. Even? Know how to. Do? That. They say you can go in with a mouse a keyboard or a computer.
That is correct some remotes do not. However the remotes that don't have a pairing button you simply put the batteries in and aim it at the Roku and it pairs itself.
the remote for the Premiere is a pos no volume and no power button? you basically need to buy another remote and watching all the videos on here no one has mentioned this problem??? i know you can use your phone but if you make a product make it fully functional not missing key things i like the Roku but this pisses me off!!!
@@Wanderer001_Reviews I have a Roku TV, it doesn’t have a device or anything. The remote stopped working but our other remote works for both TVs that is the same kind.
How come the Roko remote control does not have numbers on them I do not understand this remotes I have to use the arrow key buttons to get to my channel that I want instead of pushing the number button 🤔
Willie Williams I just got new device since it’s 20.00 for new remote and 29.99 for new model. All I did was press any button and it sync. The remote with no pair button will not work on old roku and old remote will not work on new model .

No roku remote will control your sound system not even the one that can control your tv . I would rather have the ir blaster be able to control my sound on my sound system than turn on and off the tv .
Click on the link that's posted at the top of comments, or just stand close to TV and point new remote at sensor and start pushing buttons. It should start working.
I'd like a 'pointer' added to the remote to move across the Tv Screen to do actions quickly, which these remotes obviously lack. a Very Odd, even basic remote.. wake up !
Reason why because you cannot go quick to go down Disney+ and no CBS antenna channel Roku took that off and decided to be more pain in the butt on the CBS app And a freeze too much I do like Amazon fire tv’s and vizio
@@Eatingicecream8034 There are new remotes that have a quick access button for Disney+ there is also an enhaced remote that lets you program 2 open buttons to go to the service you like. Those types of remotes were not avalaible 5 years ago when I made this video. As for the CBS channel it is not one that I use so I am not sure about it. I have tired Amazon fire and it is ok, just use Roku becuse it has one of the simpletst UIs out there.

You're constantly pressing right in practically every streaming service in order to scroll through menus and video lists, so it would make sense to me to reinforce that pad somehow. My remotes for older model Rokus all still work perfectly, even after years of regular use. It's my only real complaint with Roku, and I've been using them since their first unit.
I like my older fatter remote compaired to the new ones that have come out. The great thing is I can pair the old remote to the new Roku and still use the one I like, or have two remotes for one Roku device. Never have to worry about not knowing where one is.
@Wanderer001_Reviews Unfortunately I can't get my favorite remote to pair with my new stick, just doesn't see it.
I don’t have any of those mine is like the middle but without the bottons in the side
This video is a little older, and Roku has standardized their offerings a little more.
I downloaded the Roku remote app to my phone and I have a Roku tv also but I can't connect the TV to the remote on my phone.
Is the Roku TV's firmware up to date? That could be part of what the Roku app is not picking it up.
Will a Roku voice control remote work with a sharp Roku TV
From what I see it should.
My Roku express remote doesn't have a button near the battery section

Roku's 3500 remote works on Roku 3600?
Most of the new model roku's are backwards compatible with the older remotes.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews thanks so much
All roku remotes defenitly has no pairing button
Well that was differnt 4 years ago when this video was made. At least they have made things simpler now.
WHY can't they have a Mute button on these remotes ?? Sure would make it complete. ON /OFF, Volume up _ down and No mute ??
After playing with a firestick I would have to agree. However it does look like the new Ultra that will be coming out this year we'll have a mute button.
I have a Sanyo roku TV I have tried to pair my headphones but it won't work......so I'm looking to buy the replacement remote in can plug my headphones into. Problem is I don't know which one to buy, or if it will work......I don't have a smartphone so that way is out of the question. Can anyone help me. Thanks.
They have streamed lined the remote offerings from when I made this video. To get what you are looking for you are going to need the Enhanced voice remote.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews sadly I can't find what I'm looking for it's not compatible with my Sanyo roku TV , and I tried the Sanyo web site too but no go. Since it was a gift I should complain but it's not my choice of Brands for tvs .Thanks for the suggestion
@@dawniedee30 I am sorry but if there is not a compatible remote listed on the site it might not be a supported tv anymore. I have to say I myself have never heard of a Sanyo Roku TV.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews The Enhanced Voice Remote will work with Roku tv's with these model numbers: Roku TV (model series 6000X, 7000X, C000X, 8000X, A000X) My Series 5 43" TCL Roku tv is 7116x and works with headphone jack on the Enhanced voice remote. Where my Insignia and hisense Roku tv's don't.
Can streaming Roku Streaming Stick+ Remote work with a TCL Roku TV in a pickle?
I'm not sure the TVs are a little different than their set-top boxes .
None of my roku remotes has appearing button
Most of the new ones don't. Simple putting batteries into the remote will have your Roku pick it up.
My Roku streaming stick does not control the TV power for my LG...really weird. You would think it would be able to. LG is not that old..like under 2 years.
Which streaming stick do you have? The older ones did not come with a remote that could contorl a tv.
What is the ANDERIC Streaming Media Player Remote?
Can not say that I have heard of it.
Mine looks completely different from all of those. Doesn't even have the dumb tag at the bottom.
Did you get the remote with a Roku device? All Roku remotes from Roku itself have the tag at the bottom even the new ones now.
The middle remote is to closes to mine
Bruh mine is thick has a and b headphone jack ir blaster and volume control?
Sounds like the re worked Gaming remote.
Did you know the newer roku remotes with TV IR capabilities were able to emit IR for Roku commands as well? If the remote isn't paired to roku, or if the roku it is paired with is unplugged, the roku will switch to IR for roku commands. The IR isn't useful for sticks, but can be useful programming a universal to control a roku console. The newer direct access keys like CBS-AA or DTV-Now usually show up on the WIFI remote before coming out on IR roku remote. Now WIFI remotes are IR as well.
IR is only for controlling the TV. It will not control any type of Roku device.
I'm sorry you're wrong. I'm only referring to the remote on the right, the one with power key, in your picture. Test this, with your roku plugged in, point the remote at the camera of your cell phone, press tv key, you see a flash, press roku command nothing. Now unplug the roku's power and do the test again, you'll see flashes for ALL keys. This goes newer Ultra rc-al4 remotes, 3800 & 3810 rc-al2 stick remotes. I know my way around remotes, I have over 13000 posts helping people on remote central. I'm edmund there.
Very good info, thanks for posting here!
I need my remote programed to tv it has no power button or valume button
@@edmund6432hi, can you help me please?
I also have three Roku remote types.
The gaming remote will control my (vizio and sony) sound bar without setup as it works through hdmi and wifi.
The voice remote can only control the bars with IR (need line of sight).
The enhanced voice remote (brand new) will control neither as there are less codes available for this one. It will try only one Sony code for example when the basic one tries multiple.
Both voice ones must be using wifi to send the voice command, so why can't they also control the bars the same way the gaming one does without setup, makes zero sense.
Also depending on which roku I am setting up the control for, I will have different brand options for controlling the tv. One stick will show Epson for my projector, and the ultra doesn't have epson. So I have to program on the stick roku for the tv and then reconnect to the ultra.
This has been a major wtf to figure all this out, which I haven't yet done to my satisfaction. The remotes are clearly getting worse the newer they are.
4 different remotes from Amazon. No pairing button on any of them.
This is a little older, most of the new ones will not have the pairing button anymore.
Is there a phone number so they could walk me through the problem! I get no lights at all on my remote! Cox use to have a number!! But that won't help me now! Thanxs
Looks more like an FAQ page: support.roku.com/contactus/1
How do you turn off Roku devices with remote without power button?
The power button on the Roku remote turns off your TV not the Roku it just goes into a power saver mode.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews Nice remotes
Mine is different then those. Mine is Roku Express. The 4 bottom buttons are netflix, Roku channel,google play and the last one is CBS all access. No pairing button on bottom. No power button at all. I found your video when I searched how do I turn off my Roku Express. 🤦🏻♂️Still no answers..
The power button on the Roku remote is to turn off the TV. The Roku is themselves go into a power saver mode. They don't actually turn off.
No the old and my new one...neither have a pairing button
A lot can change in 5 years.
The remote there on the right must've come with the 3800 stick, ie: it looks exactly like the point anywhere remote I received with my 3800 stick. Works just about any IR commanded TV nicely and also works fully with my 3600 Roku. So if you have a 3600 and need a remote, this will provide all the 3800 features (it does in my case).
Yes it did come with the stick. And I use it with my Roku premier plus all the time. It has helped me get down to just one remote.
I need to get a replacement for my 3800 can you recommend one
You want the Roku voice remote on the tip of the page. www.roku.com/products/accessories/player
Meh I don’t give a fringe about them stream things I don’t get it can do one tell me what the romp stick does
How do I remove this app
Which app?
2:46 runs AAA 🔋 s
The newest remotes (not shown in this video) also include a mute button on the side just below the volume buttons
Your smart phone works better than any of these remotes and also includes the best feature - private listening.
Yats of the time I made this video they did not have the remotes with the mute button. Which in my view are a game-changer and a necessity. I do like that they added functionality can the Roku app for private listening mode. However I have family members who don't have smartphones so the remote is their best bet.
Except i cant get my remote to connect and pair
Which Roku device do you have?
Yeah, but the Roku App on my LG G4 burns through the battery power quickly therefore I must keep my G4 plugged into a power socket and when I want to change to a different show I have to get out of the chair, pickup my G4 and if I am lucky I didn't lose the wireless connection [yeah it stinks we have slow DSL] and change to a different Stream. IT sucks because I remember when TVs didn't have remote controls! I still hope to fix my Roku remote's pairing issue and/or purchase a new remote
@@ashelythompson884 That's sad because I have 20NNTCL roku T is and it don't work on either one of them either cannot parrot. Can't? Do. Anything? They tell me you have to do a hard set for the factory reset. Don't. Even? Know how to. Do? That. They say you can go in with a mouse a keyboard or a computer.
They don't all have a pairing button. FYI.
Most should, they might not all be purple.
No pairing button? Click on the link posted at top of comments.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews mine doesnt either. When it stopped working, my son gave me his and now I cant get it to pair automatically or even work
Not all Roku remotes have a paring button!
That is correct some remotes do not. However the remotes that don't have a pairing button you simply put the batteries in and aim it at the Roku and it pairs itself.
the remote for the Premiere is a pos no volume and no power button? you basically need to buy another remote and watching all the videos on here no one has mentioned this problem??? i know you can use your phone but if you make a product make it fully functional not missing key things i like the Roku but this pisses me off!!!
I know what you mean sometimes I feel they don't give you as good of a remote in the hopes that you just go out and buy a new Roku device.
Apparently my remote is old because it doesn’t look like these and has stopped working.
Actually most of these remotes are on the older side. What Roku device do you have?
@@Wanderer001_Reviews I have a Roku TV, it doesn’t have a device or anything. The remote stopped working but our other remote works for both TVs that is the same kind.
How come the Roko remote control does not have numbers on them I do not understand this remotes I have to use the arrow key buttons to get to my channel that I want instead of pushing the number button 🤔
The remotes are made for streaming services not so much regular tv use.
Just want to know functions of symbols
Most of the remotes are pretty similar now, this should help you out: ua-cam.com/video/j6m3qvjWXnA/v-deo.html
Now what to do if the remote does not have a pair button
support.roku.com/article/208755708-how-do-i-resolve-problems-with-my-roku-enhanced-point-anywhere-remote-
Willie Williams I just got new device since it’s 20.00 for new remote and 29.99 for new model. All I did was press any button and it sync. The remote with no pair button will not work on old roku and old remote will not work on new model .
Sorry but not all remote have the reset button
Yes, some of the newer remotes do not have one. However, there are still ways to do it: support.roku.com/article/208755708-how-do-i-resolve-problems-with-my-roku-enhanced-point-anywhere-remote-
Nope nothing happening
No pairing button?
No roku remote will control your sound system not even the one that can control your tv . I would rather have the ir blaster be able to control my sound on my sound system than turn on and off the tv .
Has anyone figured out how to pair the remotes that don’t have a pairing button in the battery compartment?
Click on the link that's posted at the top of comments, or just stand close to TV and point new remote at sensor and start pushing buttons. It should start working.
My dish remote will turn on my roku TV and my roku. Remote will turn on 3othertvsbutitwillnotturnonitself
A plethora wouldn't exactly be 3 devices
True they do have more devices but I only had three for demonstration purposes.
I wish they had a UA-cam TV button on them
It's paid placement maybe sometime in the future they will.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews Nice remotes
I have a roku gadget plugged into my non smart TV, I don't have the remote , what remote can I use , a universal remote maybe?
Where the fuck is the on button
support.roku.com/article/208755708-how-do-i-resolve-problems-with-my-roku-enhanced-point-anywhere-remote-
These things feel like they're made by Fisher Price. Awful remotes.
No pairing button this thing is junk
I'd like a 'pointer' added to the remote to move across the Tv Screen to do actions quickly, which these remotes obviously lack. a Very Odd, even basic remote.. wake up !
None are right I don’t like Roku TVs
These remotes are actually for Roku set top boxes not the TV. But everyone has their own likes.
Reason why because you cannot go quick to go down Disney+ and no CBS antenna channel Roku took that off and decided to be more pain in the butt on the CBS app And a freeze too much I do like Amazon fire tv’s and vizio
@@Eatingicecream8034 There are new remotes that have a quick access button for Disney+ there is also an enhaced remote that lets you program 2 open buttons to go to the service you like. Those types of remotes were not avalaible 5 years ago when I made this video. As for the CBS channel it is not one that I use so I am not sure about it. I have tired Amazon fire and it is ok, just use Roku becuse it has one of the simpletst UIs out there.
Can you get to the point!
Ya that lead it took a lot of time, I have learned a lot in the 5 years from when I made this video.
Mouth and mouth and
Jjj
000001
I’d NEVER buy a remote that didn’t control volume of your tv!
How about a mute ? Can't believe they haven't figured that out yet - - ->>>>
