Unable to control Apex TV with my remote

My Roku express+ will not connect to my Apex tv. It says it’s not compatible to my tv.. I specifically got this one for the power/volume but the remote won’t work at all. What the heck. Any advice? I attempted to return since I bought the protection plan, protection plan referred me to roku.com. I feel like I’m going in circles and cannot return this item

Re: Unable to control Apex TV with my remote

Where did you purchase the device?  I don't think the protection plan is your correct route since the device is not broke.  If I understand correctly the device works but the remote will not control your TV.  Is that correct?

Try telling it you have a Toshiba tv instead?

Try using Apex.  That worked for me.

Re: Unable to control Apex TV with my remote

I have an Apex Digital TV and cannot get my Roku Ultra LT remote to pair with it for volume. I have tried Toshiba, RCA, and all of the names that came up when I typed those in. Anything else I can try?

Re: Unable to control Apex TV with my remote

Thank you John. I did follow those steps and the music still plays. Like I said in my previous post I also tried saying I had other brands of tv and am still not having any success.

Hi @Penguinmomma,

Thank you for keeping us posted here in the Roku Community!

We will be more than happy to assist you further with your Roku remote issue. Please try to unplug the Roku and its power cable, wait 10 seconds, and plug them back in again to reset the Roku. This can sometimes get the remote to work again, letting you adjust the volume. Change the HDMI port: Plug the Roku into a different HDMI port.

If the problem still continues, please keep us posted.

Best regards,

John
