Numbered Universal remotes

Is there a numbered universal remote that would work with my Roku Ultra streaming player?

Re: Numbered Universal remotes

Not via preset code, no. UEI made remotes under such brands as One-For-All, Inteset, Insignia, and Onn can be programmed to emit the number keys for Roku devices like the Ultra. But it would only work on the Roku Ch guide or its Live tv channels. It wouldn't work with cable apps like Spectrum, Xfinity or Pluto app. 

 

To program the UEI universal remote you would have to program in a 5-digit code for each numeral, but only once for each digit. After it would be mapped to a key like any other command. Some of the models include OFA URC-7880:

Inteset 4:

Insignia NS-RMT3D21:

Or check ebay for Onn 6 universal remote, not the one with purple cursor pad, the white one only:

Once you have one of them, the Roku setup code is 3061 or 03061 depending on what model you get. Then to map the 0-9 digits to keys on the remote use these codes:

 

0- 00101
1- 00230
2- 00232
3- 00228
4- 00235
5- 00231
6- 00233
7- 00100
8- 00106 
9- 00102 

Ch UP- 00183
Ch Down- 00185

 

1. Roku device with 3061 code programmed to it

2. press and hold SETUP for two blinks, release

3. enter 9 9 4

4. tap SETUP for one blink, release

5. enter five digit code from the above list, like 00101

6. pick a key, like zero

 

repeat the above steps for each command, using a different 5-digit code in step five, and picking a different key to map to in step six.
