It is more about the uselessness of the buttons and the fact that it is not made clear in the advertising for the product.

Part of my reason for posting here was to get general feedback about the Roku service as a whole, so I can decide whether it's worth overcoming the bad taste of them not meeting my expectations with the remote.
