Universal IR Remote programming for specific channels(apps)?

I set two favorite channels to my Roku Voice remote programmable buttons.  I'd like to program those into my Logitech 650, which has different channels.  I can reprogram those buttons on my 650 *IF* ...

    Genius!  Sorry to say it did not work... I mean my universal took the programmed keys from the Roku remote per your instruction, but something was lost in translation. :-)  But now I know how to switch my Roku remote to IR, which I have long wanted to do.  Nowhere else have I found how to do that and believe me I've looked!

    Thanks for taking time to respond...

You're speaking of the 1 & 2 keys that are programmable? And want them in your universal remote? The commands that are programmed in to those keys are memorized by the Roku itself, the 1 & 2 keys signals never change, just what the Roku does with them is what changes.

Try this, unplug the Roku power plug, your wifi remote should switch to IR for the Roku commands, teach it to the universal, once done plug the Roku back in and try out the commands. The Roku remote will be wifi again. Of course this will only work on Roku's that accept IR commands, no Sticks.

        Sorry, but Roku no longer accept IR commands for the 1 & 2 keys after an update from Roku. :( Not even the discrete codes from UEI made universal remotes work anymore. Those had three commands, call them 1, 2, & 3 while they lasted.
