    With new batteries in the remote, and the roku not buried behind the tv, if you have to put in side hdmi input of the tv, or get a hdmi extender to bring the roku out behind the tv just during programming. You get better results.

    When it says the Element tv doesn't work with your roku remote it still gives you choice to try again, do it a couple of times then it will offer you to change brands or it will switch to using the hdmi-cec signal instead of IR. See this thread:

Hi Tivoburkee, read this thread and was hoping if you could help me find out what code or alternative brand to use for a Xiaomi - Mi P1 TV. It's an AndroidTV but offers my purchased movies from Vudu and Youtube in 1080p or 480p only.

Which is why I rely on Roku to get it in 4k and it's a hassle using different remotes for the TV volume.

Happy New Year!
