Re: Roku issues /remote .........,...................,

Sorry, if you factory reset your Roku device then you need a physical remote.  There's no way around it.  Depending on the model of your Roku device, you may be able to get a cheap universal remote that supports Roku device, but if it's a stick that plug into the TV without the need for an HDMI cable then you need a Roku Voice remote.
