RRUR01 Universal Remote Control for Roku

This remote replaced a Verizon remote we've had for over ten years. It works better than the original one did on day one. I paid half the Price Verizon wanted to charge me. Thank you Dan!Update: I have to reprogram the remote turn the tv on and off after shutting the tv off with the button on the TV. The remote still works well for volume and the cable box.

Works pretty well with my Samsung TV and Channel Master CM-7500TB1, but I found it tricky to program the skip back and forward buttons which did not function after inputting the appropriate Channel Master code. I had to use the multi-step "learning" process to get these two buttons to function as they do on the Channel Master remote. It was a challenge. Also, the volume button needed to be set to function with the "punch-through" procedure so that it would control the TV volume with the remote in the STB mode (without changing to TV mode). Powering on the TV and Channel Master is a one button process with the original remote, but a two-step process with this remote.One little matter of concern—this remote has an unpleasant chemical smell which I'm hoping will dissipate as it ages.

The 'punch-through' feature of this universal remote makes it simply the best choice available. 'Punch-through' lets you dedicate a key to a single device - this is an amazingly useful feature not found on other universal remotes.Even though this Anderic said it was for a Panasonic TV, it was trivial to unlock the remote so it would instead control my LG TV.I have 4 devices in my case: an LG TV, a Samsung DVD Player, a Roku 4, and a Yamaha stereo. I use the surround sound off the Yamaha stereo for all listening, except when I am using headphones.This Anderic remote is the first remote that actually allowed me to have ALL the functionality I want with only one remote. I've owned three different Harmony remotes and they've never quite worked to allow me to get down to one remote. The 'punch-through' of the Anderic was just the feature I needed to get everything to work, including some of the subtle details that were never quite right with the Harmony remotes. Each of my Harmony remotes have died within a year (volume key wore out on 2 of the 3, one drained batteries in just a few days) so I'm done with Harmony remotes.Programming this device took some time and I had to read the entire manual (3-4 pages long). Programming is done using the Anderic remote and you may also need your old remote if you need to 'learn' any of the keys on the Anderic. In the end, I probably spent 4-5 hours playing with the remote and trying various things before I was happy with all the remote's key settings. The beauty of this Anderic is you can pretty much get any key to perform any function for any of your 4 supported devices, whereas the Harmony remotes have limitations about keys that won't allow you to force a key to a particular device (at least the three Harmony remotes that I owned just never could get me successfully down to one remote). The Harmony remotes have wonderful programming software that runs from a web app - and make it pretty darn easy to program a Harmony remote. This Anderic does not have a web-based interface like the Harmony, however I really did not miss the slick Harmony programming interface. I thought it was more important to get the functionality I wanted instead of a slick web-based interface that ties your hands.My final configuration of this remote has- A set of dedicated keys that completely replicate the Roku keys- The volume key is dedicated ('punched through') to the volume of my Yamaha stereo- A couple keys I dedicated to get the over-the-air channel 'info' from my LG TV (and show me the upcoming OTA programs)- A few keys dedicated for the LG TV closed captioning and sleep timer.It took a couple days of using this remote to decide how I wanted various keys to map to various functions of my devices. I did end up needing to manually 'learn' a few keys using the old remotes. If you have one of the Roku's with an RF remote (rather than a typical optical remote) and want to learn any of the Roku keys (I 'learned' the Roku back arrow button onto a couple different keys of the Anderic, just for ease of use), you will need to find an optical Roku remote to do the learning on the Anderic.Be prepared to spend a little time learning how to program this remote. It is definitely a little bit daunting at first and you will need likely need to thoroughly read the manual. When selecting a TV model, you have 3 methods to select your TV model (much clunkier than Harmony way of doing this):1) Code Input Method. Enter one of possibly dozens of codes that may work for your TV. This was my first attempt but my LG TV had a huge list and I just gave up.2) Auto Code Search Method. Use the CH- and CH+ keys to search for your TV. But it searches through the massive list of TVs - ugh. Not viable that I could tell.3) One Button Search. This worked great for my LG TV (once I disabled the 'device mode lock' that this Panasonic model shipped with). I just entered a '1' after entering this mode and it found my TV style, then powered off. First one it found was not quite what I wanted, so I tried a second time and that was the ticket.So bottom line is that this is a great remote if your willing to potentially lumber your way through programming. But it sure is worth the time to finally have a universal remote that works for all my devices.

I don't know where the claim of being a "learning" remote comes from. It's just a programmable universal remote like any other.

The remote works fin and programming was easy for a Vizio tv and a Roku. I just didn’t particularly like it.

Came pre programmed to our Roku Ultra. Which is what we were looking for! Worked perfectly with the RU as soon as the batteries were installed. Side note it has a small screw to secure the battery compartment so when it gets knocked off the table during a ridiculous living room touchdown/hockey goal celebration, the back won’t pop off and send batteries rolling under the couch! It was very easily programmed to our TV and Sound system as well. One remote to rule them all. Less clutter makes me happy.

I have a TCL Roku TV and a Klipsch soundbar. I have tried everything to get this remote to work with both, but it just doesn't. For the Roku TV portion, the arrow buttons and ok button work, but that is it. For the Klipsch soundbar, there is only one code and it doesn't work. I emailed Anderic multiple times and never got a response. I finally called them and the first time I was just sent to voice mail. The second time I got someone who told me it "probably" isn't compatible with my Klipsch soundbar. He was very unhelpful and just kept repeating that I should go through the auto-programming, which I explained repeatedly that I have tried multiple times. The remote does have a nice hand feel and it seems well made, for a remote. I wish it worked.

I use three of these in my home and have bought an additional one for my daughter's house. The first one I bought years ago, because I wanted something inexpensive and capable. The others I have bought because the first one far exceeded my expectation.I am a cord cutter and all of the TVs in my home are equipped with various (Ultra and or Express) Roku systems. I had an old flat panel Digimate TV that I purchased when a 28" flat panel TV was $800. I did not want to discard the TV when the original remote broke, so I took a chance that the Anderic would work on an older off brand TV. It worked great. The Roku and TV were easily programmed into the remote and it has worked flawlessly for years. So, when I bought my new Samsung 75" TV and paired it with my 35-year-old Onkyo sound system and a Roku Ultra, I knew exactly what I was getting. The value for the dollars invested is exceptional.
