The issue I have is with Roku and it's poor engineering team when it comes to the TV Remotes and their frequencies. I mean TV manufacturers back in the 80's figured it out. We are now 24 years into the new millenium! Did your people come from a time machine? Both TV's are different manufacturers so I thought it would be fine. Wrong, different manufacturers but due to both using Roku they are using similar frequencies. In short; not a fan of Roku for that reason. Making cheap products doesn't mean you can't but a bit of an intellect behind the design.

If they're different manufacturers then Roku didn't make them and has nothing to do with the remotes.  Many manufacturers use the same set of codes.  You can get Voice remotes and pair one to each TV and your remote interference problem will be solved.

So there's no method to use dual Roku in a small home without purchasing 2 different voice activated Roku devices?

@MadsJef, you can use the app on your phone, cover the IR sensor on one of the TVs and get one voice remote, or get two TVs that don't use the same code set.  That's about all I can come up with.  It's not like this is something new.  Ever since IR remotes were invented one remote could affect two different devices.

Not a very good way of keeping customers is all I was saying. Back in the 80's manufacturers figured it out so that every manufacturer had their own range of frequencies and as such they would also change their own frequencies within their ranges per product. Very organized..... back in the 80's!
Now Roku comes out; again I am using a TCL and an RCA TV but both are Roku and have very similar remotes. Well doesn't the one have similar frequencies to the other which is a pain. I thought RCA for sure had that figured out so I know it is and issue with Roku programming and frequency choices. 1 Roku per room is my advice regardless of manufacturer.
