I believe they tried that (or something similar) at my school.

Didn’t work. Was logistically annoying. Failed after a week or something.

The dedicated Roku replacement remotes from Five Below might work.

AliExpress probably has millions of listings for them.

If you find a smashed up Roku branded TV on the side of road and it has the remote nearby, I’d snatch it. Good chance the remote works for your set.

It can be quite fun but it makes me want to bang my head against the wall!

It’s both rewarding and ass at the same time.

Yeah it’s the worst piece of software I have ever used in my life.

Which is incredible because I occasionally program for ancient Qualcomm BREW mobile phones!

Ruko does everything wrong, except for their remote.

Seriously: Identical IR blaster codes! Genuinely fantastic decision.

Used a Vizio television in the past. The OS is somehow worse then Samsung.

Honestly I thought that brand died out 15 years ago.

Update: They literally just sell televisions and speakers. And write the firmware for them. What Walmart saw in them that warrented slurping them up is beyond me.
