Control Center works with nearly everything you plug into your TV with HDMI, including cable or satellite boxes, streaming media players, gaming consoles, DVD/Blu-Ray players, soundbars, and other sound systems.

See details on compatible devices, apps and services.

Control Center works best if you have at least 2 or more devices connected to your TV.

If you have a combination of any of the below devices Control Center will allow you to control everything with one remote, automatically switch between your services and devices, and simplify your overall entertainment experience.

SUPPORTED APPS & SERVICES

Control Center works with many popular streaming apps, including Netflix, Hulu, iTunes and more (see current list below — we’re always adding more to the list). When you choose what you want to watch, Control Center automatically switches to the right device, launches the app, and plays it. So, for example, when you choose to watch Star Trek on Hulu, Control Center would automatically switch to Hulu on your Roku and take you directly to the movie.
