Re: Set up of new infrared remote

Is this a Roku tv? Or a Roku stand alomne roku attached to a regular tv? Roku IR remotes do not control tv's at all, no power or volume keys. Only wifi roku remotes have tv controls. Of course true Roku tv remotes can be IR, but are worthless on non-tv roku's.

I have a Sharp Roku TV wirelessly connected to my router.

My new infrared remote does everything it is supposed to do, but can't the TV.

Any tips ?

Close? You mean power off the roku tv? And this IR remote a true Roku remote or an aftermarket universal remote?
