Solved! streaming media players with good remote control

[Robert_442]

I'm on my third streaming media player, fire stick, mx box and whatever this new one is. the fire stick was ok, it died after about a year. I would prefer a controller better than the one that came with the fire stick. I hate pushing a button so the cursor can move across the screen slow as can be. i want a remote and system that is faster, something with a polished user interface. anyone know of a good model?

"polished" leads to Apple TV, but you won't like the remote...

I use a Roku, whose remote is so-so. But I don't use the Roku remote. I control my TV, projector, projector screen, AV receiver, Bluray player, cable box, and Roku through a Logitech Harmony Hub. Its remote is nicer, and you can add a wireless keyboard to it if you want.

If you didn't want to pay for that, I suppose you could control the Roku with the Roku App on your phone. It duplicates the functions on the Roku remote, plus gives you voice control, and lets you type using your phone's keyboard.
