Pairing a rechargeable Roku Enhanced Voice Pro with a LG TV Model 50PA5500-UG (pre-Smart TV)

The rechargeable remote sucks! I have 2 of them and they work great when first paired. But then the volume buttons work on and off. I want my money back. The battery remotes work best. A waste of money and they don't let me post a question or contact them.

Problem: Roku Voice Remote intermittently loses ability to send infrared Volume, Mute, and Power commands to the TV

I've never experienced this problem with any of my Voice Remotes, but it has been reported that updating to the latest remote firmware version can fix the intermittent IR command problem. This can be done via a Roku "secret menu".

Caveat: So-called "secret menus" are not officially supported by Roku. They may not work with all Roku models, and they may be discontinued at any time.

1) Go to the "secret" Platform Menu. To do this, hit the these buttons in sequence: Home five times, FF, Pause, RW, Pause, FF

2) Go to RF Remote Menu

3) Go to Over The Air (OTA) Update Menu

4) Go to OTA Firmware Update

5) Update the firmware

6) Exit

I agree.  Same issue.  Power, Volume and Mute stopped working within 30 days.   Trashed it and Amazon was nice enough to give me a $20 credit so I could purchase a standard Voice Remote with removable batteries.   So far so good...

I found out there is a secret screen menu that allows you to update the remote control. It is working good so fat. Over a week without an issue now.
