Can I use multiple Rokus to control multiple TV's separately in the same room?

In my restaurant, we have 4 TV's next to each other that  usually need to be on different channels.  If I buy 4 Rokus, will I be able to control the TV's separately, as in change the channel on only...

I'm a little confused.  Are you saying if I have two Roku sticks, the remote I have with each only works for the one that came with it?  If not, I already have one Roku 4k stick.  Should I get a Roku Express 4k so the remotes only work with the one that came with it?

Yes, they will pair with a specific Roku during setup, and then will only work with that Roku. They of course can be paired with a different Roku device manually, although I'm uncertain if that removes the pairing with the previous device. But in general use they remain paired with a single device and will not control a different device.
