Does this remote need to have a direct line of contact for it to work with the Roku or can Roku be hidden and still work?

It does need to in direct line like the regular Roku remote. In this particular aspect the Roku remote apps on Andriod and iphone score way better. But as a physical remote, this is very good. been using for nearly a yr w/o and have additionally programed my TV to it too

Only Bluetooth remotes can do that and this is not a bluetooth remote. However when I was messing around with this remote testing a pile of Rokus I had, I noticed the roku was seeing it from bounce around. As in it wasnt a direct line of sight but 1 wall bounce. I was only 6ft away though.

J, I have it behind an AppleTv box via the HDMI output. It extracts the audio via the RCA outputs (the audio is still sent through the HDMI cable). It is not hardware dependent, it will work behind a DVD player (tried it and it worked) and will work with Roku box via the HDMI output. The Bose system has to have RCA audio in and it should be no problem. Dave

Sorry, I don't have the new Roku. I use the pigtail to switch between dvd players and it works perfecdtly.

I don't know, I would just really beg someone not to purchase this product. Spend the extra money for a streaming DVD player or a Roku. I purchased two of these units for my kids' room two years ago for Christmas and have had nothing but issues with them to include connectivity and remote control. I've had my Roku in my room for several years and never a problem. I've finally upgraded to Rokus for my kids' room this past Black Friday. If you're still wanting this product, I'll sell you both of mine for $5 + shipping and handling. I haven't thrown them out because I was waiting to give them to someone because they still work.

Hi If your Roku 3 uses infrared for its remote operation then yes. You will have to use the learning feature to program the buttons. As I mentioned in my review, I have a TCL brand sound bar which has no known codes for any universal remote (and I've tried a lot). I used the learning feature and had it set up in 3 minutes. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I received your answer after ordering the Roku unit from Amazon, so installed it anyway. Surprise, it works just fine!

A very large list of control codes is provided and instructions to discover or learn codes not on the list. I don't use the remote to control my Roku, but it is on the control code list in the Video Accessories section......8-)

First, it is not compatible with Roku 3. We wasted a fair bit of time trying... :) Simply unplug your Roku and then plug it back in. First it shows the Roku screen saver, then the Hello screen, then a pairing cartoon showing the 3 steps. At this point, your Roku is receptive to pairing. Remove the battery cover from your remote and press the purple button for at least 3 seconds. The green lights will flash and it should pair in a few seconds. If it just continues to flash, check again: is that a Roku 3? It will never pair with this remote... Hope this helps.

Hi! This has been proven to work with several smart phones only but if the Roku remote supports 3.5mm jack, it may work.

To use any of the remotes for your RoKu they work but if your going to play any of the games you have to have a RoKu that plays the games but even the Roku that plays the games will work on any other ROKU. The only difference between remotes is the games ones have the added features for games. r Hope that helps!

No, My experience with (2ea) XS, (1ea) XD, and (1ea) Roku3 is that I have never had any issues controlling the correct roku. There is a way to pair the remote with a different Roku if you wanted to. The button is by the batteries after you remove the battery cover. There is also a cool Roku App for iPad/iPhone, Android, and Windows8 devices. These apps give you the ability to choose from detected (via wireless) Roku's on your network. These apps give you keyboard functionality via your tablet/phone On screen keyboard. You shouldn't have any issues connecting to the correct Roku with the correct remote. I have just verified that the Roku XD remotes WILL control multiple Roku's, but they require "line of sight", so if they're in separate rooms there wouldn't be an issue. Also since your question was for the XS, this is just FYI for anybody else reading. The upper paragraphs apply to the XS. I hope this helps. Have a great day

Check all your connections, you should not have to do that. I have my Direct TV going to the in..........and my Roku & Bluray in the other inputs. It works fine when I toggle from one to the other. Also your input must be correct as well. Could be a bad unit......

Hi,There should be no problem. Once you pair the remote to one Roku, (lets call it Roku A) Roku B will NOT see that remote. Follow the pairing instructions, there should be no problem. Good Luck.

I do not have a Roku3 but it does work with my two earlier Rokus. If not, you can teach it the Roku3 commands.

It requires a specific type of port on your tv. Not an hdmi port!. I have an insignia tv, the box recommended this streaming stick specifically. I use the tv remote with, works great- I love it! But if you are not sure if you tv has this port- I would go with the roku box.
