Can I buy any roku remote for my roku TV?

I have a Roku TV and I lost the remote. Would any Roku remote on here work that I buy?

Of course you can. The voice remote pro. But for free you can download the Roku Remote Control app for your iOS device or Android device.

@MalJayLaysMom-

Remotes that come with Roku TVs are supplied by the TV manufacturers, not Roku.

All Roku TVs will support any of the Roku "Voice Remotes".  You may be able to find these locally at Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, etc, or of course at online sources like Amazon, eBay, and from Roku itself. These are point-anywhere remotes that connect to the TV via WiFi-direct, and must be paired to the TV to enable them to communicate.     

Remotes supplied with Roku TVs connect by infrared (IR) and are relatively inexpensive.  They "just work" without being paired to the Roku TV.  You may be able to find them locally at Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, etc, or of course at online sources like Amazon and eBay, but not from Roku.  Roku TV remotes from any Roku TV manufacturer and from third party suppliers are largely interchangeable and can be used with Roku TVs from other manufacturers*. 

  • * NOTE: Remotes from HiSense and Sharp can only be used with HiSense and Sharp Roku TVs because they issue a different set of IR commands than the rest of the Roku TV manufacturers.  The Roku TVs from HiSense and Sharp themselves, though, support both sets of IR commands so they can be used with remotes from any Roku TV manufacturer. 

Thanks to @Tivoburkee for this info.

You can't beat the Onn Universal 6 remote at Walmart for $11.88:

onn. R113663 6-Device Universal Remote - Walmart.com

Its learning remote, it accepts Advanced Codes(EFC), which are 5 digit codes for individual functions. Works great with both Roku Streamers (code 3061) that accept IR remotes, no Sticks. And works great with Roku tv's (code 4398). Will give you access to 0-9 keys for use with antenna or live tv for direct channel access on Roku tv's only. And it has backlighting. 

If you're in to Jp-1, and have cable you can program this remote with your computer.
