Remotes & Accessories

[nanrey]

Two things:

The volume buttons on the side of the remote work the opposite way.  ie:  the down increases volume...the up volume decreases sound...weird...I've tried resetting the remote and reinstalling the Roku....any suggestions??  Or should I just live with it?

And...is there a way to reprogram the preset buttons on the remote (Netflix, Hulu, Sling, etc.) with another channel?

No, you can not reprogram the discrete channel keys. 

Try programming the tv again, but skip the first code that mutes the music, answer no and see if a later code works properly.

settings> remote & devices> remote in use> program tv> follow the prompts but skip the first positive result and see what a subsequent code works for you.

Thank you!  I'll try that.

Weird that you can't change the preset channel buttons...

Roku is being paid a $1 button per remote from those services. Helps keep the prices down of devices.

I'd pay $5 to let me program... or even disable these... I keep bumping them accidentally and losing my place in the program I was watching on another app.  almost as bad as the home button accidentally getting bumped, or stepped on by the dog
