This Roku Remote won’t pair with Roku stick?

So from what I am reading I can not pair my remote with the Roku stick that I have attached to my Sony TC?  Can anyone confirm?  Picture attached….

    KetchamL, your picture didn't get attached, but the TV has nothing to do with pairing a remote to a Roku stick.  For sticks with the Wi-FI receiver embedded in the USB cable you must use that cable for the remote to work at all and if the cable fails you'll never be able to pair the remote.  Sticks also only work with voice remotes, so if your remote doesn't have a microphone button it won't work.

      I was trying to show a picture of the remote I got.  It’s just a Roku remote with the red on/off button, no voice control button but there’s no “pairing button” to push when I am prompted to when I go through the set up a new device: new controller in the Roku settings

        Off the top of my head, a Roku remote that has a power button, yet no voice button, sounds like a replacement remote for a Roku TV. If so, that won't work on a stick or any Roku player.
