Roku Enhanced Remote no longer controls Sceptre tv volume and power

My Roku remote always controlled the volume and power on my Sceptre tv, but a few days ago it just stopped. I've tried reprogramming the remote in setup and none of the codes stop the music from playing, and setup says it won't work with this Sceptre tv. I've tried a handful of different brands hoping one of their codes would work and still nothing. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance

Try telling it you have a sony tv instead of sceptre.

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried Sony and none of those worked. I also tried LG, Samsung, TCL, and Hisense.

When programming the tv, its best to have a line of sight to the roku and the tv, don't have it buried behind the tv and you'll get better results. And use new batteries.

I had problem pairing my comcast remote with a sceptre tv, and someone suggested to use a Sony code of 11100 and it worked for power on/off and volume increase/decrease.

I also just recently paired a Roku Express Voice remote to the same sceptre tv, and it worked for power on/off but not for volume increse/decrease

Seems roku tech's don't read this and they could care less. I have written several times and got nothing, zip, nada back ion response. Just suck it up loser is what I imagine they think.

Mine has worked fine up till today. Even after reprogramming it. So this solution is useless. I don’t understand how it just quits working.

aye, not a blessed thing works and they don’t want to fix it either, probably because it’s not some fancy expensive tv their more wealthy clients would own I suspect, just not worth their effort.
