    I am legally blind and RRemote was a big help in changing channels, do you know of other PC options to control RokuTV now that this app is gone?

      On your Roku device, make sure Settings->System->Advanced system settings->Control by mobile apps->Network access is set to Enabled.  See if rremote works after changing the setting.

        I used your advice with that earlier this year. thanks.

        Now I had to reformat my hard drive and program is gone, it says it is no longer availiable.

         

        I guess I am out of luck.

        Thanks RokuTakashi, that is a good app and I use it as much as I can. Being legally blind, I enjoyed the larger buttons from RRemote on my PC while I am at it. The Roku app is just smaller. I wish I could download RRemote!
