    Longer reach than remote packed in Roku box..."laser pointer" aiming not needed with this one. Volume, mute and power for any brand TV also, very handy.

    I've switched to Roku streaming on all my tv's. This works well for all the ones I have except the streaming stick. That's why I gave it only 4 stars. I like that you only need one remote to control both tv and Roku box. If you need for cable box this is not for you. This is just for tv and streaming. Don't give it a bad review cause you didn't make a good choice. You don't need numbers for streaming tv apps. There are other remotes available for air, cable, and streaming. Can't beat that I got it on sale for half price.

    This was purchased to replace the remote for an older Samsung TV. It is also compatible with Roku 3. The only downside is that unlike the remote that comes with Roku 3, it uses IR and needs line of sight to the box. I consider that, however, a minor inconvenience.

    Great remote with keys that are easy to reach & remember. It' has all of the basic functions needed to run multiple devices. Feels good in your hand, light weight & comfortable.

    A mess of a remote

    There isn't anything that this does well or even mediocre. It only supports two devices, none of which are an Apple TV. The backlighting is terrible; almost completely worthless. I didn't see a way to program the color buttons for any functions and, since this isn't made for a Blu-ray player, why were they even included?

    the set up process required a letter and or number substitution system which was very time consuming and almost impossible for one person to do easily. also the remote only worked to turn the tv on and off and for volume. would not work on the cable box. even these functions stopped working after a few days requiring a repeat of the absurd set up process.

    I recently got a new TV for my mother and took her old TV. She lost the remote that came with the TV long time ago but this remote works perfect and now I can watch from my bed without the hassle of changing channel or volume manually. I should have done this earlier.

    Bought this for my daughter as she lost her TV remote. Very inexpensive. However, it has no numbers on it. Thus, unless you want to change channels 1 by 1, it lacks functionality.

    It works with a samsung smart tv but does not provide all the functionality. For the price I am going to keep it but make sure before you buy it.

    Couldn't find the remote for my Roku tv. This was on sale. Meant to be! Doesn't have thousands of buttons. Just the right number of buttons. Paired in minutes. If it had a voice assistant I'd have given it 5 stars. Found the remote. Now I have a spare.
