Tv brand not found cannot pair remote to tv

I keep trying to pair my Roku remote to my tv and it keeps saying tv brand not found. No matter what brand I put in as soon as I put any letter it says not found. I really want to be able to control the volume & power to my tv with my Roku remote. Please help.

    Some manufacturers use the same code set. So, if you were to actually tell us the brand you're looking for, perhaps someone knows another brand that uses that same code set.

        I have a Vizio TV. It popped right up on mine.

        On the TV, using the TV remote, go to Settings > CEC > and ensure that Enable is set.

        If everything is working correctly, you won't need to configure the remote to the TV.

        By the way, the remote pairs to the Roku, meaning it only works with that very one Roku device. It doesn't actually pair with the TV. You can configure if need be, and that's what you were trying to do. Just words, I know, but there is enough of a difference that if you search for things, you'll get wrong results. Really, though, you shouldn't have to with a Vizio.
