Neutral Remote
Are there any Roku remotes that don’t have the pre-assigned buttons for certain services? My original Roku remote doesn’t ... it just has the navigation controls. The only thing keeping me from upgrading is that I like that. I want a neutral remote that doesn’t favor any specific services.
Short answer: no. Roku receives payment for those button placements, so there's no way to reprogram or disable them. Some users have used a small knife, removed the rubber button, and then taped over the opening so debris doesn't get inside. Then it's almost impossible to press one accidentally.
Now, you can use a 3rd party universal IR remote with any Roku player other than the Stick models. And those won't have any such buttons.
