Tivoburkee  You said,  :you would have to initially enter a 5-digit code into the remote for each digit, one at a time." 
Where would we find these 5-digit codes?

UEI made universal remotes have had advanced codes or efc's in their remotes since the 1980's, so I did brute force search. Started at 00000 and went up to 00255, after that they repeat. This what I found:

0- 00101

1- 00230

2- 00232

3- 00228

4- 00235

5- 00231

6- 00233

7- 00100

8- 00106

9- 00102

Ch Up- 00183

Ch Down- 00185

To map them to a key on the UEI remote: First you have to program the Roku device key with setup code 3061 or 03061 depending on the remote you have. Then:

 

1. Roku device key

2. Press and hold SETUP for two blinks, release

3. Enter 9 9 4

4. Tap SETUP for one blink

5. enter 5 digit code

6. Pick a key

 

Now do that for each command, using a different number in Step 5, and picking a different  key in Step 6.
