Hi @texasaustin,
Thanks for reaching out to the Roku Community.
We understand that you are having an issue pairing your Roku remote when the device is plugged into the spec TV.
To set up your Roku voice remote, it must be connected to your Roku streaming player or Roku TV through a wireless discovery process known as pairing. To learn more, visit here: How to set up your Roku voice remote
Keep us posted on how it goes.
Regards,
Nimfa
