Remotes

[yankeebo]

If I bought a 2nd remote as a backup, will it work...or would the remotes work at cross purposes? I would like to buy a 2nd one because I am forever misplacing my original...thank you

It being an IR or Wifi Roku remote you can multiple remotes control your Roku device, no problem.

With IR remotes you can have thousands – just don't press buttons on all of them at the same time.  (All rokus except the stick models will accept IR.)

With RF remotes, they need to be paired.  I don’t know if Roku supports multiple paired remotes at once. (Edit: Based on Tivoburkee's post, apparently they do.)

There's also a phone app.  (Though as people eventually find out, the phone app won't work if you change to a new network name/router/ISP until you hook the Roku up using a real remote.)

I have three wifi remotes linked to the Roku Streaming Stick 4K+ on my main tv in the living room, spread around to different seating areas.  All work.

I have two working with my Roku Ultra. I've tested them side-by-side and both can control the LG TV
