    Remote is a joke. Remote does not control TV on, off, or volume. Does not turn the Roku off. When the Roku goes off at some time the remote control is not able to turn the Roku on unless it on standby. To turn the Roku on, you have to unplug and replug. If you by a Rouk look what remote comes with it. I can't believe they make a remote so limited.

    This product is great for movie apps and for great if you have cable. You can use the Ruko instead of renting a cable box and use the Roku.

    I expected something different. It offers old programs and movies I have already seen. Turning the system on and off is strange.

    Returned because the remote was not a RF remote but was instead a IR remote. I wish Roku would state this on the box itself.
