I watch a lot of pool, Netflix, and U tube on my Roku #5. The remote that came with it...the batteries go dead about every week. Is this normal for the Roku? Should I just get a smart TV with Roku on it? Thank you. Johnnyt

If you have a smartphone, the Roku app mimics the remote and doesn't have to point at the Roku physically. Just has to be on the same network.

Thank you all for the help. I went to Best Buy that said on their web site they had new Roku remotes. Got there and they had none. Instead of going to another store, my wife just bought the new Roku model, a digital recorder, and some good earphones for me. I faught her tooth and nail not to buy them. Johnnyt
Are you listening to headphones plugged into the remote? This will definitely eat batteries quickly.
Probably defective. Mine last a long time. If you use the headphone jack a lot it could be an issue.
By the way guys, thanks for the Roku app tip. That is interesting news.
