Roku remote compatibility list
Is there a list of replacement or type of remote that will work with my older Roky player? I have an old remote label inside the battery cover of RC120 T1 09 and it is not working with any of remotes...

The Roku model that is embedded within the TV is an MHL Stick. Yes, it does not work with an IR remote, and unfortunately it doesn't work with the WiFi remotes that makaiguy mentioned. That old of a Roku is no longer supported, and replacement remotes are not available for them.
Is there any way you can identify the model Roku you have? That's really the only way to know for certain if a replacement remote is available. You might be able to find the model number printed or embossed on the case somewhere. I realize that without a remote you can't get into the settings menu.
If the Roku is still connected to your home WiFi network, you could use the Roku app on a phone or tablet to control it, but if you ever lose the network connection there's no way to get it back online without an actual remote.
For what it’s worth, I read “embedded ROKU in a TV” as “a Roku TV”.

I considered that. But since he mentioned the Roku was older, that seems to point to one of the MHL sets. But after reading his post again, he might be referring to a remote that he had picked up somewhere that might not be compatible. That's why it's really important to know the exact model number of the Roku device.
