Remote wont control my Westinghouse tv

I have a Westinghouse tv and a roku streaming stick with voice control. When I try to set up roku to control the power and volume it will not recognize a Westinghouse tv. Is there anything I can do to resolve this or did I waste my money on this feature. The roku will work just not the other functions..

    If its non-roku westinghouse tv try samsung tv codes? Or you can't seach by brand at all? 

  • I just had the same issue. I tried RCA brand tv from the setup menu and it worked!!

  • We're having the same issue. When it gets to TV code 5 the TV shuts off. We turned the TV back on with the TV remote but then eventually says it failed to pair. We tried RCA codes because someone said that worked for them, but it didn't work. Neither did Samsung, Vizio, or a few others. Did anyone figure out the issue? Thanks!

      When the tv went off, did you finish programming the remote by clicking yes? It's usually sitting on yes, so all you had to do was press OK even with tv off. 

      As for brands to try, Sony or Mitsubishi too.

        I have a Westinghouse  model VR-4030 and the roku remote wouldn't pair with any Westinghouse codes for volume and shutting off the TV.  But the 4th or 5th code for RCA did work.

  • I have a very old 40" Target Black Friday special Westinghouse tv that has terrible luck with universal remotes. It is model number VR-4085DF. I had hoped the Roku voice remote would work with it but it does not. Like another commenter Westinghouse tv code 5 turns it off and on when the mute button is pressed but the volume keys do other things and the universal control from the Roku remote is useless. I guess this is the price of having a 13 year old, cheap TV in the modern era... some things just won't work.

      If way old try the Sony tv codes, if they don't  work try the Samsung tv codes.
