Obviously, not everyone has or wants a tv with Roku built in, or is going to rush out to buy one. Obviously, TV makers don't want you to have much choice in the matter. I was cjust thinking about getting a Roku box for my mother, because for $40 it's way less work and expense than getting her a new tv.

- Piskvorrr 7y agoDoesn't HDMI-CEC solve that?
- davismwfl 7y agoSort of. The problem being the Roku remote is sadly missing a few key basic functions, like primarily mute. So frustrating when you want to mute something and you can't cause you only have vol up/down on the Roku remote. And it is so easy to hit the ESPN or 3 other "app" buttons on the remote so that can be annoying if you aren't careful picking up the remote or setting it down. But overall yes, HDMI-CEC solves the remote issue overall except for the fact Roku poorly designed the remotes IMO.
