Remotes

[Tavyn]

My Roku Voice Remote will not pair to my Roku TCL TV. I have tried every trouble shooting step previously posted including of course removing the batteries and unplugging my TV (tried this countless times for an hour), holding down the pairing button for at least 20 seconds while pointing at the TV, going into the system settings and having my TV search for the remote (is never found), changing my WiFi network settings, ensuring my system OS is updated, and replacing the (already new) batteries. Here’s what happens when I put batteries in the remote:

The green pairing light immediately starts to flash. I point the remote at the tv. I wait 2+ minutes until it stops. Or try to have the TV search for the remote at the same time. 

That’s it. The remote pairing dialogue never appears. This is NOT a cinch, it’s the most frustrating experience I’ve ever had with a modern piece of technology. I’ve had roku products for a decade and I’ve never had an issue like this before. Is there anything else I can try? Otherwise I am returning this remote as I believe it must be faulty.

Hey @Tavyn

We're sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing.

Are you using the remote that came with your Roku TCL TV? If so, please be advised that remotes for Roku TVs are manufactured directly by the TV manufacturer. We would recommend reaching out to the TV manufacturer's customer support team to report the issue and get help.

You can reach TCL Support here: https://support.tcl.com/us or at 1-877-300-8837.

Thank you for your understanding.

All the best,
Kariza

No. This is a Roku brand remote I purchased separately for $20. “Roku Voice Remote With TV Controls” “Works with Roku TV.” Unfortunately right now it’s a paperweight.

Hi @GIT, 

Welcome here to the Roku Community!

Thanks for bringing the remote issue to our attention. We would be more than glad to help you out with this. 

• What troubleshooting process have you done so far?
• May we know how you are powering your streaming stick is it a plug on the wall outlet or directly to a TV USB port?

With more detailed information, we can assist you further.

@GIT, are you using the USB cable with the long-range Wi-Fi receiver?
