Nope...without the remote, can't do anything... it's purple, has HDMI output... if I could get the thing to connect to my network, I have the ROKU remote app... but until I can connect it to my network, I'm screwed... I need to know which model it is, so I can order another remote... I have a Roku LT with remote, but, of course, that remote doesn't have the reset/pair button under the battery cover...
