Review on πŸ“Ί Smartby Roku Sling 1 New IR Remote: Roku 1-4 HD LT XS XD, Express, Premiere | NOT compatible with Roku Stick or Roku TV by Michael Hughes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

PERFORMS BETTER THAN OEM REMOTE!

Remote control works great. I lost my original remote control and I am sure that it will be found soon. However, I actually like this remote more because it's lighter than the original remote, it has a longer IR range than the original remote, and my device also responds faster to this remote than the OEM remote that came with it (hmmm, I get it). This remote does not have a volume control like my original remote. So for me it does NOT count as "CON" for me. Pleases! BENEFITS: * Lighter remote weight * Longer IR range than OEM * Great value * Great replacement for OEM * Roku device is more responsive * Overall better than OEM remote. CONS: (IMO) * No quick launch button for HULU (Hulu Subscriber) BUT. While some say "No TV Volume Control" is NO in this review, this isn't an issue for me. I would recommend this item. (And the seller!)

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Discontinued model
