Yet ANOTHER Streaming stick/remote problem...
I've looked through several of the entries in the forum. I've read things from Roku and other sources to get the new remote paired. I've read the instructions that CAME with the new remote. I've o...

Go back into setup a try setting up for CEC control. IF your tv supports it, volume, power, and mute will be controlled via the HDMI connection instead of by infrared control codes.
Try these tv brands as well: Envision, Auria, Norcent, Viewsonic, Wyse, Magnavox, Philips
If you want to know why newer remotes don't have as many tv codes available, there was patent suit, an upgrade took care of it. Outcome not as many tv codes available as there use to be.
I"ll go back in and play with these 2 remotes, but WHICH one of the two that don't appear to be the same model as the original is the one that SHOULD be working?
Where did the TV codes change - I have a remote. It has at least 8 TV codes to try - I know this because the existing remote (RC-AL7) works FINE and uses the 8th code it tries. With the SAME streaming stick on the SAME TV with the TC-FA5 remote I CANNOT even access as many TV codes. Are the REMOTES determining what TV codes are made available to the TV?
I'll try some of the other brands listed, but which REMOTE should I even be using?
Continuing down the increasingly bizarre path, I've now tried all the Brands listed in the earlier email. None of them worked, with differing numbers of codes tried:
AOC old remote at least 8 codes, new remote only 6.
Envision 4 codes
Auria 2 codes
Norcent 2 Codes
Viewsonic 14 codes
Wyse 2 codes
Magnavox 10
Philips-Magnavox 10
Magnavox (Roku tv) 1
Philips 7Am I going to have to buy ANOTHER &^%$#@ Roku to get one with a remote that'll work? If so, I don't think it's going to be another &^%$ streaming stick.
