The premiere oem remote is IR only, meaning no tv controls. If your remote has tv power and volume keys its either wifi roku remote in which case it has to be paired to your roku before it would work. Or its Roku tv IR remote which case its useless on your roku premiere. Describe the remote? What is model number in the battery compartment? Is there a pairing button in the battery compartment?
