Replacement TV remote with AA batteries

Where can I get a real replacment TV remote?  Not the simple tv remote that is IR based and not the voice remote with rechargeable batteries.  The one with AA batteries that came with both of my TVs.

Thanks.

Re: Replacement TV remote with AA batteries

Did your TV come with a voice remote?  If not, it came with a remote made by the manufacturer (TCL, Hisense, etc.) and you'd have to contact them for an identical replacement.  If you're looking for a voice remote with batteries, this is the only one still available:

It’s a Roku tv.  

what you posted is an IR remote that I specifically said is not original/what I wanted.

I think the ceo of ROKU would be interested that you cannot buy a replacement remote (well you can but it is $30 and you have to recharge the batteries).  I would advise everyone I know not to buy a ROKU TV because of this.

I understand what model of Roku remote you want, but they aren't available new sold separately, sorry. You can try ebay, for such models as the RC-EL3 or RC-AL9.

eBay lol.  Yup I knew somehow I’d regret buying Roku TVs , but I did it anyway.  Blame’s on me.

Yes, it is all on you. Because there is nothing wrong with current available Roku remotes, the rechargeable remotes are great. Especially the 2nd gen Voice Pro with backlighting. Just because the AA powered remotes aren't available on the website, it doesn't mean there aren't any available as warranty replacement remotes?

@ukorpete, no voice remote is IR only!  I posted the only current remote that isn't IR and uses batteries.

Nothing wrong except it costs $30 and I don't want to worry about "charging" it.
