Re: TV brand not recognized at initial setup

 @Tivoburkee or anyone - Is there a brand that aligns with an Ematic TV? The list shows for me, Ematic just isn't one of the brands.

Re: TV brand not recognized at initial setup

I have an older Westinghouse tv and Westinghouse is not on the list of manufacturers when I try to get my Roku ultra to control the tv.  Have tried some other brands but so far no luck.  Any ideas.

Really old models used the sony tv code, later they switch to using samsung, The current Westinghouse Roku tv's use the same code as tcl or insignia Roku tv codes.

Re: TV brand not recognized at initial setup

Tried all those, no luck.  My Westinghouse is a 24” for our bedroom and is about 10 years old.  Guess I’m stuck still using 2 remotes. Thanks for trying to help me out.

@Ksingle1964 

I tested 5 different Roku, including an Ultra, if you go into:

 

settings> remote & devices> remote> remote in USE> set up remote for program tv control> change brands> entering just W, there is a list with Westinghouse, Westinghouse Roku Tv, and White-Westinghouse. You don't see this?

Re: TV brand not recognized at initial setup

No.  Westinghouse is not an option for me. My ultra is maybe 3 years old.  I moved it from our main tv.

Sorry, but I stuck out finding anything on a Tiger tv brand. 😞 Do you have an actual model number of the tv, how big is the screen size?
