Re: Roku remotes with channel numbers?

On my 43" TCL series 5 TCL Roku tv, I can use Inteset 422-3 universal remote, a cheaper version of that remote without backlighting or learning is the Insignia ns-rmt-415. Then there's the One-For-All urc-7880. In the first two remotes the code to use is 14398. In the last its just 4398. 


Thanks.

Inteset 422-3: https://www.amazon.com/Inteset-Universal-Backlit-Learning-Streamers/dp/B00M4I1BAY/ I assume.  So, its number inputs work good with OTA TV channels, Spectrum's Roku app, etc.?

Insignia ns-rmt-415 only shows for Samsung TVs in https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ns-rmt-415&crid=1AKCZKEKW72BQ&sprefix=ns-rmt-415%2Caps%2C96&ref=nb_sb_nos...?

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=urc-7880 doesn't seem to find exact matches?

Re: Roku remotes with channel numbers?

All I know is it works on antenna channels and live tv. I don't have spectrum. It doesn't work on pluto tv channels and they are numbered. It will only change to an active channel number.

Re: Request DIrect Numeric Access to TV channels

Does Peacock (haven't used it much) have channel numbers?  Channel numbers are usually location based - with VHF channels being only 2-13,  once city  might have channel 7 being the local ABC channel, while another might have it for PBS

Re: Roku remotes with channel numbers?

I'm in the process of buying a new tv today and in the process of finding one with roku included, they all have the minimalistic roku remote without channel numbers. Vizio, onn, element, all the american brands only have that remote. I need one with numbers because see my mom won't like that endless channel scrolling. I hope they come up with something different soon

Yes you are correct.


Lefty here. Not that awkward.  I just use my pointer finger to run volume. Adapted life lefty in a righty world. Still wishing for numerical keypad

Re: Numeric pad on Roku remote

My TCL tv with ROKU will be going in the trash can.  I will never buy another TV that I cannot input a channel number.

Re: Numeric pad on Roku remote

Kind of harsh to pitch an otherwise working TV. At least donate it so it can still find a use somewhere.

Re: Roku remotes with channel numbers?

I hear ya! You wouldn’t believe the email I got when trying to find out who is the mfg of the remote. They were very condescending! Sad part is if you use the app you can use numbers for the channels… even the sub channels. So it begs the question… why can’t they make a remote that uses numbers. I have little hands an the stupid thinks too small even for me.

Re: Roku remotes with channel numbers?

DirecTV Stream (no satellite) was my best find solution   The basic entertainment package was about $69 plus tax Their device with a remote was $125 or maybe $50 for a refurbished unit  

it works and I’m done screwing around with this issue.

I have given up on finding an acceptable remote with channel numbers that I can pair and make work with Roku TV..

Re: Roku remotes with channel numbers?

@RonOh  No live tv streaming service offer on Roku or Firestick will have a remote with channel numbers. DirecTV Stream does offer channel numbers but it’s pointless cause you can’t enter them. Unless you use the DirecTV Stream box
