Sure, no problem, Kash.  I've been dealing with the remote unpairing itself from the TV for 12-18 months at least.  I'm so tired of it.  I've tried to get help on this page before and stop back every once in a while to see if there's a solution yet or not.  The remote unpairs, the pairs itself again.  Sometimes it takes too long to pair again, so I pull one of the batteries for a second then put it back in.  This somehow forces the remote to reconnect to the TV.  A lot of times I have to pull the batteries a couple times just to sign in and get on an app.  Please help.

@martytanis What you are experiencing is unusual.  I have three TCL Roku TVs and have never had a remote unpair.  My guess is you have a faulty remote.  Roku remotes for TCL TVs are about $10.  I would try a new remote.  Get the new remote from Walmart, Target, Amazon so if it also unpairs you can return it.

@HDMIGuy   This is a new remote; the remote behaved this way after buying it, so I'm not too confident about trying another new remote.  As for being an unusual problem, a quick scan of this forum indicates otherwise.

@martytanis I know you have a new remote.  It appears from your posts that this remote has been a problem from day one.  My experience with Roku TV remotes is very different.  Between my home and my daughters we have five TCL Roku TVs.  We have not had a problem with any of the remotes.  I still belieive you have a broken remote.

Is this new remote one made by TCL or one made by some third party manufacturer?
