    Hi Teribarlow,

    A warm welcome here in the Roku Community!
    We understand you're having a problem with your Spectrum remote since it is not working. Please be advised that you may need to get in touch directly with the remote manufacturer to get help and bring this issue to their attention.

    If you need anything else, please let us know.

    Kind regards,

    John

      It isn't the remote. The latest Roku update changed something so that Cox, Comcast, Spectrum, etc. NO LONGER CAN CONTROL VOLUME or other functions. Roku has admitted this is a ROKU problem, not the remote manufacturer. While 'some' people have been able to find new codes to reprogram their remotes, it doesn't work for all. In our case (hotel) I am dealing with about 50 calls a day with complaints about "volume on tv not working" and we have to explain to the guests that Roku screwed something up. Options such as requesting newer remotes that "may" work are unfeasible as I doubt the local cable company will send us a couple hundred new remotes.

      If Roku can't fix it with a new update soon, then they should at least revert to the pre-November update until they figure out what they did wrong.

        A new remote isn’t the answer either, I’ve replaced all of our spectrum remotes and same problem. The issue is the interface with spectrum remote, my Apple TV remote works just fine, it’s the spectrum remote that is no longer recognized by the TV, ever since the Halloween update the spectrum remotes have been unusable. Maybe with the next update, who knows when that’ll be, the problem will correct its self. I’ve also reprogrammed the remote with several different codes and no change. Anyone suggestions?
