The newer roku remotes with power buttons and IR for tv power & volume like one included with second generation Ultra can emit IR for Roku commands as well as tv commands. If the remote isn't paired with roku, or if the roku it is paired with is unplugged it switches from Wifi Direct to IR for roku commands. Plug the roku back in and its Wifi only again. In a pinch you could use it to program a universal for missing commands. Its great for getting the direct access keys like CBSAA or Directv Now into your universal.
