Sooo, recently my Dad wanted to save some money on his Xfinity bill & we decided to go with Roku express units (using the Xfinity stream - beta app) for his video services to replace the Xfinity Xi3 clients. We bought 6 & only had to use 4 - one tv is a TCL 43" Class 5 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Roku TV; the other is an older Roku Premier. I was able to update the firmware, create an account for my Dad & authorize programming. Unfortunately, I noticed these express remotes don't have a power button nor volume controls.

My question: I'm fully aware that the "official" replacement for the express are the Roku® Voice Remote Pros. At $29.00 a pop (for the pros), can the regular voice remote be paired for FULL functionality? Can the voice remote replace the Class 5 Series remote - also FULL functionality?

Thank you in advance!!!
