Re: I have no remote no connected to my television.

If your TV isn't connected to your network you'll need a physical remote to get it connected.  You can't use the mobile app until it's connected.  Many universal remotes support Roku TVs.

Re: I have no remote no connected to my television.

Hi, @Peewee1985 

Thanks for posting, and welcome to the Roku Community.

We appreciate you for letting us know about your concern with your Roku TV, and we're here to help.

If you don't have a remote available, you can use the Roku mobile app as a remote. Make sure that your Roku TV is connected to the same network as your mobile device to ensure that the app's remote function works as intended. 

For more information, you can visit this support article that will provide you with steps and guides on How to use the Roku mobile app to control your Roku streaming device without a remote

We hope this helps, and let us know if you have further concerns or inquries.

Thanks,
Kash
