Review on Enhance Your Roku Experience with the New Roku RCAL7R Voice Remote by Ronald Duguay

Revainrating 1 out of 5

No more remote finder!

I only bought this remote to replace my original Ultra remote because my son soaked it in water. It (my ultra remote) still works, but it's weird because when you press a button, the volume either increases or decreases. I don't want to change it, but the volume button doesn't work anymore. This one works like an Ultra, but not quite. As with the other review, I liked the bulky feel and heaviness of the original. Gone is the headphone jack, which comes in very handy, especially when I go home at night when everyone is asleep. Last but not least, the remote finder is gone! The?! I have kids and this thing came in handy because they always lose the remote! Now I have to find the remote again like I used to. I know I'm a kid, but finding the remote for the umpteenth time a day is annoying. It's one of the reasons we bought the Roku Ultra in the first place. I just hope they make the exact same remote (as a replacement) as the Roku Ultra. I'd be first in line to buy it if they make one.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Hard to tell
