No star button on my Hisense Roku tv remote

There is no star (*) option button on my Hisense Roku tv remote how do I move channels around when this isn’t on my remote?

    That not a true Roku tv remote, its aftermarket universal remote for many different models of Hisense Smart tv's, some it controls better than others. Its not programmable remote so can't add missing commands like the option key, you're stuck with what's preset. If you don't want a true Roku tv remote, one that lacks 0-9 keys, there are other universal remotes that will give access to missing commands and have 0-9 keys available. Like:

     

    Insignia™ 5-Device Backlit Universal Remote Black NS-RMT5D21 - Best Buy

     

    You can add the option key to whatever free button by doing the follow on the Insignia remote using tv code 4398:

     

    1. tv

    2. press and hold SETUP for two blinks, release

    3. enter 9 9 4

    4. tap SETUP for one blink

    5. enter 0 0 2 5 4

    6. pick a key

    There must be ( * ) button on the remote but if you are talking about it is not a working button then you can set up shortcuts on your tv homescreen-shortcuts and add channels. You can select channel by using up/down arrow keys. Other way is press ( < ) key to show channels numbers.

      edroksense There is no * (options) button on this remote, you can view it on Amazon the model number is EN2A27 for Hisense Smart TV Remote. With no * (options) button there is no way to rearrange apps or to get to the options menu for the apps. It has been driving me nuts, as I can’t believe this is missing from this model Hisense Roku remote!!☹️

        I would guess the "gear" button to the upper left of the directional pad would function as * on that remote.
