"Fortunately, you don't need the physical remote to control your Roku TV. If your Roku remote is missing, here are four ways you can still control your TV."
"The easiest way to control your Roku TV without a remote is with the Roku app [/ Android]. If you don't already have it, you're missing quite a bit of functionality. You can search for content in the app to cast to your TV or tap to resume watching where you left off, but you can also tap "Remote" at the bottom of the app to pull up a digital remote that works just like the real thing."
"In some ways, it's a little better than the actual remote. The Roku app has voice search, the ability to quickly turn on closed captions or set a sleep timer, private listening that plays audio through your device or connected headphones, a keyboard that's a lot faster than typing letter by letter with your remote, and the ability to quickly switch between inputs without heading back to the home screen."
"Your phone and your TV do need to be on the same Wi-Fi network to do this."
A missing Roku remote can be handled without the physical controller. The Roku app can function as a digital remote when a phone and Roku TV are on the same Wi‑Fi network. The app also provides voice search, quick closed-caption controls, a sleep timer, private listening through a phone or headphones, and faster text entry. It can switch inputs quickly without returning to the home screen. If the remote is unavailable, replacement remotes are also described as fairly affordable. Additional control options include using the phone to cast content to the TV.
