We've had ROKU over 15 years, and the remotes are WEAK.

Why are they so lame? Who knows, but they could surely

      Thanks for the post.

      Customers have reported that they are able to resolve the issue of pairing their remote to their TV by connecting to an alternate wireless network, such as a mobile hotspot, in order to find their TV brand. Have you already tried this?

      Please keep us posted what you find out.


      Thanks,
