If this is a Roku Simple Remote as stated:

  • Be sure the batteries are oriented correctly, agreeing with the diagram in the battery compartment.
  • It requires a direct line of sight to the front of the Roku device.
  • It communicates via infrared (IR).  It cannot be used with Roku Streaming Sticks, which require WiFi remotes.
  • It cannot be used with a Roku TV (one with Roku capability built in) because Roku TVs respond to a different set of IR commands than separate Roku devices do.

You don't pair a simple remote to a TV.  Simple remotes don't have any buttons to control a TV.
