How does the remote still work?

Thanks for your question. If you have an infrared (IR) light remote, the light emitted from the remote bounces off the wall behind the television and then hits Roku's sensor. If you have a radio-frequency (RF) remote, the radio frequency will pass through the TV.

mine is on the tv's back,towards the top left of a 46in tv, to my surprise i aim at that corner and it works fine.in direct line of a uverse box and blu-ray w/wifi without interruptions from one or both items on at same time. connect the right clips from selections included to mount and just hang on vents of tv.

It is mounted behind a flat TV on the wall and it works perfectly. What a marvelous thing. We love it!!! Thank you.

Peter, I am very confused by my Roku purchase because of my poor computer understanding. I am not qualified to answer your question; only to say I am returning my purchase because I can't utilize it. Good luck, Michael P.s. I would use velco tape instead of the mounting kit and attach it to the back of your TV with the light still showing.

The packaging shows the signal bouncing from the ceiling to the device. I actually couldn't get any of their mounting kits to work with samsung flat panel TVs.

It still works, as the remote uses Bluetooth (in the Roku 2) or WiFI (Roku 3) to connect to the box, it has no line of sight requirement unlike a IR remote.

The remote still works the same. I clipped this mounting unit near the top on the back of the TV where there are lots of air vents or slots to let air in and out of the back of the TV. There are adjustable clips of various sizes and shapes included with this mount so you can clip it on to almost any kind of TV. It also has screw holes and screws included so you could actually mount it to the wall if you so chose. W P Emil

If you use the head phone out, the TV remote works. That is how my rig is configured.

The original remote is one of a kind . The others do not work with this model. Sorry.

As I recall, I believe the switch #'s sync to your remote. I've never used my remote. I have mine staked in the ground, and simply come on with motion.

Thanks for the info. In case you were able to configure successfully, please do let us knw... Might come in handy, in case the remote falters. I've not had any issues with the remote ever since I started using it... Hope it stays the same... :)

No, this is why the remote is present. If it worked like that, then the remote, itself, would be of no use or useless. You can simply set it to one settinf and hit the on and off button of the remote, which works just like that of a light switch.

The remote is not back lit. Some of the main control buttons will flash to tell you what mode you are in when you push a button, but that is it.

Unfortunately it does not come with a remote, that is why I got another one with a remote. You have to go there & switch. That is why it is so cheap :)

It does it by using the remote. I bought it for my mother, she is in a nursing home and loves it.

Samir........The remote is not tied to the switch. The reason I'm sure of this is that I misplaced the remote and bought another one. The replacement worked with the switch. (Of course, as luck would have it, I found the first remote a few days later. Oh, well.)..........Joe

I have no issues with the remote. I find the entire unit to be functional, including remote. It is a greatvalue.

I have had this switch for several months now and it has performed flawlessly. I have not had a problem with the remote as described by other reviewers. It always remains on the input you last used when powered on/off.

My remote seems to work fine after this mysterious update. You right, nothing seems to have changed.

Hmm. Mine stopped working a long time ago. But it did have a remote and manual, and it worked for a while.

I have not had any issues with the remote so far. But it also stays in a nightstand drawer when not in use. It is a dainty thing.

It's like a regular TV remote (it's only "on" when it transmits a signal). The only difference is that if you move it the buttons light up.

It is controlled by the the TV and it's native remotes. Think of it as just the storage for 4K movies.
