Works but frustrated

I'm using the original remote, the OK button doesn't work anymore and I thought it might be worth a try. Move closer to the TV to make it work. I've never had a remote that worked like this, before many of my remotes I didn't even have to point them at the TV and they just worked, this one is just really finicky and I get frustrated trying to get the angle right. so this will work. I'll do an update on this because I'm so excited about this right now. I literally. 5ft from the TV, I use this TV and my Roku most of the time. I have to keep my old remote with me which is a must with this remote. When I sit down and watch TV, I like not to get up too often because I can't walk. I've tried moving my Roku box to many different positions because if you get the remote wrong it won't do anything. And I need it because the incoming remote control's enter key doesn't work for me. With my Roku. You can have remotes that are a few inches taller and it still doesn't work 95% of the time. I'm fine if only it didn't have a headphone input. And I just found out that my voice control doesn't work on my Roku, and this one doesn't have it anyway. Literally tried to rewind programs. A trick I missed when I was on the phone or something. And if the rewind button was working at that point, it would be impossible to stop it because it goes way beyond where you wanted it to be. I can be. I'm really mad right now because I quit smoking a week ago and everything is getting on my nerves and I'm so mad at this remote right now that I wish I could throw it at the tv but I think so my first remote control is broken. It's worth paying the extra money if you can find another remote for this Roku. I wish I wasn't so mean that day.
