A:Answer Deb,
The Hisense H4 is a ROKU based TV, and the Roku remote is a simple and clean remote without a numeric keypad. However, if you use the feature rich ROKU app on your phone, you can control the TV and have access to a virtual keyboard to dial in to the channel of your choice, and that keyboard comes in handy when searching titles. It has a ton of other great features, too!
