Programming cable remote for Roku tv

I just purchased a Roku 55r4ax from best buy. I am having no luck programming my arris mxv4 cable remote to turn the TV on and off. I have tried ALL of the recommended instructions with no luck. The cable remote does not list Roku TV codes, either.

Any ideas? Any guesses on random codes to try?

    Turns out it was mostly operater error. Mostly. The new TV's remote sensor is in a different location and the speaker was interfering with the cable remote signal. The Roku remote worked just fine. After I moved the speaker, I still did not have any Roku codes so I did the search option (select tv, press and hold OK) until it found the code. The speaker is now in a better position and all seems to work fine. 

    Thanks for the codes to try, though,

    Does it list Admiral, Dynex, or Sansui tv brands? Try those codes.
