[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "It doesn't have the headphone jack if that's important to you and he mystery AB buttons have disappeared but everything else is there and works beautifully. Set up took a couple of minutes and then I was down to one remote!\n\nI have this paired with a new Vizio and taking over volume on/off and mute was automatic. I think any late model TV will be pretty much the case. I bought this to get the mute button, that was worth it to me.\n\nUPDATE: When I first got this I didn't think I would use this feature that much but it is a game changer! Whether searching genre, actor, movie, tv series, doesn't matter, it search every app on Roku and lists results on the left and which app on the right. It's fast, accurate and has become invaluable.."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "Most importantly, you can't use this to search for things outside of Roku. For instance, if you're trying to find a movie on Netflix and you go to the search function, the voice button does not work for that which is the main reason for people upgrading in the first place. Not to search the Roku platform every time... Bad programming and needs to be updated."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Bought this to replace my TCL Roku TV remote. Love that this voice remote is also enhanced so it doesn't need a clear path between the remote and the TV. The mute button is also a plus.\n\nInstallation was a breeze. The remote immediately paired with the TV after inserting the batteries.\n\nMine came with the following streaming channel buttons: Netflix, Hulu, Sling and ESPN+.\n\nWill buy another one to replace my old Roku remote that doesn't have a mute button.\n\nAs an FYI, this remote does not have a earphone jack. No stars subtracted because I never used the jack anyway."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Received a remote that was a chewing toy for some animal and smells horrible of cigarette smoke! Very disappointed will definitely be returning!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Love these. Has the volume and mute bottoms. Not as big as the original one we had. Kinda liked the bigger, heavier one with double A batteries. But these (bought two) set up right away, no issues. Could use volume and power controls on the TVs I set them up on. One Samsung and one older Sony.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "I only bought this remote to replace my original ultra remote because my son soaked it in water. It(my ultra remote) does still work but weirdly because if you press any button, the volume will either turn up all the way or will turn down. I don't want to replace it but the volume button don't work anymore. This one works as the ultra but not quite. Just like the other review, I loved the bulky and heavy feel of the original one. The earphones jack is gone which is useful for me especially when I go home at night and everyone is asleep. Last but not the least, the remote finder is gone!!!! What??! I have kids and that thing was useful because they always misplace the remote! Now I gotta find the remote again like in the old daysss. I know I'm being a baby but to find the remote for nnth time a day is irritating. That's one of the reasons why we bought roku ultra in the first place. I just hope they make the exact same remote (for a replacement) as roku ultra has. I'd be first in line to buy it if they actually make one."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This official Roku branded remote works just like the one that came with your unit. It has the TV controls on it (on/off, vol up/down, and mute). It does not have the wireless sound (where you can plug earbuds into the remote). It does have "voice control", which honestly I personally just never can get any satisfactory results from. This remote does use the RF mode (vs the infrared) for the Roku control, so you don\'t have to point the remote at the unit if your unit supports the RFs remotes.\n\nThe one thing I want to point out is that some of the buttons, particularly the up/down/left/right pad, are not as sensitive as the original remote, requiring significantly more force on each direction to register a button bush. The first remote I received had really poor sensitivity on the "up" and "left", so I returned it. The replacement remote is better, but still requires more force on these buttons than my original remotes.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': "Works great with my TCL Series 6 TV but did not realize that there is no infrared for controlling the volume on my Sonos Playbar. So unfortunately I'll be returning because I want to have one remote that controls my TV and the volume on the soundbar. Back to the old standard IR remote with no voice control for now."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'As noted elsewhere, so I\'m just joining the chorus: This remote worked beautifully with my TCL that originally shipped with an IR remote.\n\nThe IR remote was finicky and had to be aimed more carefully than any other in my electronics stack, and just using the tv was bugging the hell out of me every minute of every interaction. I was thinking of sending it back, it was so annoying. I might not even have thought there was a better way, except that I already had a TCL with a radio remote like this one, and it worked flawlessly.\n\nSeriously, this thing is the difference between, "I might have to send this TV back" and "I hope this TV lasts for years -- I love it." And convincing a few friends to choose the same model. I do not get not including it from the beginning, but I\'m sure there were price points to meet, bean counters to employ, production volumes to hit, something.\n\nOf course, YMMV. Maybe it won\'t work with yours. But it worked with mine. And changing to this remote eliminated the only frustration I had every time I sat down to watch tv. Best dollar-to-life-upgrade value in tech I\'ve had in a long while.\n\nAnd it\'s really nice to know that a replacement is easy, if either remote ever dies or wanders off, too.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'While I love my Roku TCL TV one of the things I have come to hate about it is the included remote must be pointed directly at the bottom center of the screen to work. This is a royal pain. This replacement remote works on RF signals rather than IR so now I no longer have to do that. I can aim it anywhere and it works perfectly. It took me all of about 30 seconds to link it up with the TV and am supper happy with it. I tried the voice function and that seems to work fine too, but I bought it just so I would no longer have to accurately point the remote at the TV.'}]
