I like DVP Remote app (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch) because it supports multiple Roku Players, looks exactly like the Roku remote, and uses WIFI instead of infra-red (so I can hide my Roku Player). Now DVP Remote works with the new Roku Netflix app, and it makes this app even more useful when searching for streaming titles to watch. Here's a short video (with funky music) that shows the new keyboard feature in action:

I don't know about any one else but "my roku remote" is the best beam-to-box IF remote I ever had or know about. I have my Roku behind my TV, clear out of the line-on-sight and it still get to the Roku. Heck I even put it behind my back and it still works.
And I still have the same batteries that came with the remote, which I got in January of 2009.

The app looks cool. However the ad makes it seem so difficult to search.
When the suggestions on the right is made to help ease the typing issue.
In fact once he types out "the day" on the right it shows "The Day The Earth Stood Still"
You just don't need to type out full titles.

Thanks so much for the article. I downloaded the app and it works great. Just took a couple minutes to setup and it started working.

Do not waste your money on this app! Every time you turn off your Touch, it loses its connection to Roku and has to be re-synced which can take several reboots of the Roku. This app is definitely not ready for prime time. Terrible, terrible, terrible.
