“I have noticed that the 65r617 comes with an infrared remote. While I realize the model at best buy (65r615) does not, is the unit capable of working with the infrared remote? I've noticed I can get on amazon and buy an IR remote for 9 bucks.”

I bought this TV from BestBuy and later bought the RF remote with voice control directly from TCL and it works fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 615 comes with an IR remote. It does not have a voice control remote like the 617 which is usually $50 more.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Roku Enhanced Voice Remote (https://www.roku.com/accessories/remotes) works perfectly with this TV, and even automatically pairs itself when you turn it on.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 6 series TV has built-in ability of Bluetooth remote, however, to maintain compatibility for aftermarket remotes like Harmony, it ALSO retains IR compatibility.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have that backwards the Best Buy (R615) model comes with an infrared (IR) remote. The non-Best Buy (R617) model comes with a WiFi remote with voice functionality. You could probably buy this remote separately and I do not see why it wouldn't work as long as your TV is connected to WiFi as well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I found out the voice remote works now with most Tcl tvs this info is on tcl.com Amazon sells the Roku Voice remote for $20
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The TCL Roku TVs are specifically designed to be used with the TCL Roku remote that comes with it. However, you can download the free Roku app on your smart phone or tablet to use with your TCL Roku TV. By using the app you can use voice search, voice control, and experience private listening. In addition, you will also gain access to more settings and Smart features. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
