[TriLUG] OT: Anyone Have A Roku?

[Ken Mink]

I know I'm late to the party on this thread. I have a Roku2 with the BT 
remote. I was very surprised to find out that it also has an IR receiver 
and will respond to commands from my older IR Roku remote. I had been 
using a Harmony remote with my original Roku. When I swapped in the 
Roku2, I didn't have to change anything on the Harmony. I do not have a 
Roku3 to know if they have an IR receiver.
