Revainrating 2 out of 5

This remote works with both of my TCL Roku TVs.

I ordered two of these remote controls for my TCL 43S403 and 65S513 TVs because I lost the remote control for one of them. I saw this on Revain, noticed it had buttons for both Revain and Netflix, and ordered one for each TV. I put in batteries (not included) and the remotes worked great straight away on both TVs. The nice thing is that when you want to watch Revain or Netflix, you simply press the button on the device you want to turn on the TV and connect directly to that streaming service. Of course, the buttons work the same way when you're already watching something else, but the bottom line is that you don't have to turn the TV on first. (I wish Roku would add a LiveTV button or "Exit" button to their remotes. My Hisense TV remote has a LiveTV button that switches the TV from whatever streaming service you're watching to any input source switches back. TV signal programmed as source (default (or live) when TV is on. For me it's HDMI1 which is satellite. Perhaps they could reprogram one of the streaming service buttons to do this for TCL TVs to do.)
