IR Remote for Roku Players and Roku TV Remote, Not for Roku Stick, Compatible with Roku 1 2 3 4, Express/+, Premiere/+, Ultra/LT, Power and Volume Buttons Require Learning Old TV Remote to Setup

This remote works very well with my two Roku Ultra LT boxes and two different Samsung TVs. I stopped watching cable TV 25 years ago and OTA TV 10 years ago. The main source of news for me is now YouTube and Rumble on Roku. To limit the exposure to obnoxious and tasteless advertisements, I use the mute button that is located on the side of the remote and close my eyes for about 5-10 seconds before checking again. This remote has the mute button that works perfectly with my TVs and I could not be happier.I consider the original Roku Ultra LT wireless remote (with alkaline batteries and a built-in connector for headphones) absolutely the best because I can watch TV when my wife has a teleconference and I can replace batteries immediately, without waiting for the device to be recharged. Unfortunately, one of those LT remotes stopped working and I could not find exactly the same (non-rechargeable) replacement. The second best remote for stand-alone Roku players is, in my opinion, a device that uses line-of-sight infrared (IR) signal and sends correct IR codes to TV-s to mute sound or adjust its volume. Obviously, such a remote will not accept headphones but no pairing will be required to make it work. This remote is exactly what I was looking for.One important warning. This remote is very poorly packaged by the manufacturer. The remote is not put in a rigid box for protection; everything is shoveled into a zipper bag. Unsurprisingly, the first remote I ordered arrived with the IR window chipped. The replacement arrived without this defect but no batteries were present in the plastic bag. The bag was slightly opened and I guess batteries slid out of the bag somewhere. This is not a good customer experience. I did not want to initiate the second replacement request so I used my own AAA batteries.The remote is very easy to program for a specific TV. This is done in two steps:* First, press a combination of two buttons: the power button plus some other button described in the attached instructions for your TV brand (Samsung TVs are supported by the device but Samsung is not mentioned in the Amazon product description). A small hole next to the power button is not a microphone but a tiny LED. After 2 seconds, this LED should be lit continuously.* Next, you need to press the blue “OK” button to complete programming. It appears that this configuration procedure needs to be performed only once. No need to repeat those steps after batteries are replaced.The remote has a less rounded profile and it is less comfortable to hold than the original Roku device. The remote is remarkably light. The battery cover is quite thin. I hope the device will hold up somehow. I am not a fan of dedicated shortcut buttons on Roku remotes. I prefer not to have this feature because I accidentally press those buttons from time to time. The “source” button pops up a menu on my Samsung TV and there is not way to get rid of this menu, except for turning off the TV set.

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆The universal TV remote works great with my Roku 3 and Express models. Setup was quick, and all the main functions are responsive. It feels sturdy and has a good range. However, it’s missing a few shortcuts I liked from the original Roku remote, but for the price, it's a solid replacement. Overall, a reliable and affordable option if you need a new Roku remote.

Product did not work for me right away for Roku 3. Instructions were not clear that (1) first put in default mode, (2) press left arrow and home button [to which there is no reaction or feedback], and then (3) program it to the TV. I assumed it would work after the arrow/home button, but it will not. Has to be programmed to TV. They way to reach customer service is through the help box if you go to Amazon, orders, and then the product. Get past the AI/virtual attempt to help, and there is an option to contact seller. Note these options appear on PC, but not iPad for some reason. Then, I contacted them again for the instructions to program other buttons, which they sent me. But very easy: Hulu+source (bottom buttons) for 5 seconds and light goes green. Push button you want to program, and light goes red. Then put nose to nose with TV remote control and press the button on the TV control. Light then goes green. That means it is still in program mode and you can proceed immediately to other programming. Worked perfectly. So my rating is that the product is great, but the instructions are confusing. Customer service is terrific, but it is not clear at all how to contact them. Good luck!

The remote on the tv broke, and even changing the batteries was not saving it. This was not the original remote as the original one broke a while ago, so we thought we were just going to have to let the tv go since they no longer have real buttons on the TV to even bypass the remote. Then we found this remote - it bypasses the need for a tv remote and works perfectly with our external roku 3. A much cheaper fix then buying a whole new TV.

It works OK but is not great. The buttons do not always make contact and there is often a lag between depressing a button and the main unit actually registering the command.

Our Roku remote suddenly stopped working so I purchased this one as a replacement. (Included pics are the OEM remote compared to this one.) This is one of those items I'd like to use half stars on because I'd really like to give it 4.5 stars due to the difficulty of setting up the remote with our TV. The remote worked immediately with the Roku, which was good, but we had trouble linking it to the TV. The main reason we purchased this specific replacement remote was to get the power button and volume controls that were not present with our original Roku remote. The instructions with the remote explained the setup process for several common TV brands, but not ours (which is not an uncommon brand at all). It turns out there *is* a way to set it up with other TVs as long as you have the original remote, but that is not explained in the rather skimpy manual that came with the remote. We messaged the seller, but found the answer deep in another person's review before we heard back from them. Long story short, we eventually did get it to work with our Roku and our TV, but it was way more difficult than it needed to be. I believe this remote is also IR rather than radio control as we have to be pointing it in the right direction to make it control the system. Overall the remote works, but they made us work for it.

Simple setup, Roku Express + 4K hooked up to a Vizio V Series with the matching sound bar & sub. Did the Left Arrow + Power + OK and it started working immediately. It can turn on the TV, wake the sound bar all at once. Very satisfied with setup and quality of the remote is aight, work as well as factory units.
