Works exactly as described

We've recently moved away from cable and into terrestrial TV and Roku for streaming. It was annoying having both the TV remote and the Roku remote to switch between the two. Another thing my husband and I found annoying about the Roku remote is that there is no up or down page. We use Playstion Vue for live streaming. In the TV guide we had to scroll through the channels individually. With this Phillips remote we can control both our LG TV and our Roku with just one remote control and in the TV guide just press the fast forward button to scroll the page and the rewind button, to scroll the page up. No more scrolling through one channel after another. I looked at other more expensive remotes but settled on this one. For 11€ I am very satisfied! The remote comes with instructions for simply connecting it to the TV, and codes need to be entered to program the Roku. It only took me a few minutes to get up and start working. The instructions state that it is recommended to enter codes to program the TV. I've gone through a few codes with no luck and noticed later in the guide how to auto program - worked like a charm. I'm not sure why the automatic program isn't listed first. you need to enter to program your Roku. It only took me a few minutes to get up and start working.
