Hello,

My father has dementia and I wanted to get him something that makes his TV, Tivo cable and streaming services easier to navigate.  He has a Samsung TV and a Tivo box.  His Samsung TV isn't new enough to have the easy to use home screen.  His Samsung remote also doesn't have any of the buttons for streaming apps.  I was thinking a Roku may be able to solve this. 

Would a Roku be able to control his Samsung TV by turning it on and his Tivo box (which is basically his cable box)?  I'm really trying to have 1 remote control all of them with a friendly user interface/home screen.

Thanks so much.

Sorry, no. Roku voice remotes can only control the power and volume of (most) TVs.

Ok thanks so much!  I had a feeling this wasn't the case but the Costco sales rep in the TV department suggested it.  Much appreciated.
