How to sync Roku remote without pairing button
I just purchased a replacement remote. As I went to pair the new remote to my Roku device, I noticed that there is no pairing button. It is the basic standard remote (nothing fancy).
I researched how to pair the remote without the pairing button, and the only instruction that I found was to unplug the Roku stick, wait until the Roku screen appears on the tv, and then put new batteries into the remote and point at the Roku device.
I have tried multiple times and have not had any success with this process. The old remote works, but need to be replace due to the down button not working at times.
You can't pair a remote without a pairing button, without one its just IR remote. If your roku is a stick, then its worthless, if its a console then should just work by IR with nothing to program.
Of course I have no idea what roku remote you bought? What model of roku you have? If this new roku remote has power key then its a Roku TV remote and uses a completely different IR code then Roku console streamers like express, premiere, or ultra.
