Remotes

The roku remote too small for my dad, keypads to close to each other.  Hope you are developing a larger remote for senior citizens. The voice remote will not do for him.

As long it is not a streaming stick, you should be able to buy universal remote controls that are easier for people with various difficulties to use.

The caveat to what @MilesT said is that standard Roku IR remotes won't work on a Roku TV. There are different code sets for different manufacturers. If it's not a Roku TV, but a TV with a Roku attached, then any universal remote that supported Roku (it will say if it does) will work, as he indicated. The Roku TVs are a different beast though.

Agreed. I'm constantly dropping it. And the volume/mute buttons are on the side, so even gripping the remote causes the sound to adjust. It probably costs only pennies to manufacture but I'd pay more for something a little more substantial.
