Re: Remote only controls volume and on/off

I also found that going from wireless to wired connection also causes new remote to stop working.  The workaround was to use the phone as a remote and to go to settings and restart the Roku

Re: Remote only controls volume and on/off

I have the same issue. The power and volume works, but not the other controls. I've tried everything mentioned here but no cigar. I just ordered a free hdmi connector, so we'll see if that works. Any other suggestions will be much appreciated. Thank you.
