Great design but poor implementation? My remote randomly stops working, there is often a long delay when I press a button, and it uses up batteries very more quickly than anything else.

It’s easily the worst remote I have ever used, although there are no problems with its design.



I've owned 6 roku premiers and have never had any of those issues with any remote. Maybe you got a dud?


Different models of Roku use different technology for the remote. Since some of them use WiFi, they can suffer from connectivity problems like WiFi does in general. This will depend on the location and RF environment.

Maybe you got IR remotes? Maybe you live in a location with low levels of interference? Maybe your model doesn’t suffer from the design flaws that mine does?
