Go to Settings System System restart Restart on a player, or Settings System Power System restart Restart on a Roku TV. When your Roku device displays the home screen, reinsert the batteries in your remote. Wait at least 30 seconds to see if your remote establishes a connection with your Roku device. Re-pair the remote. I believe the TCL Roku TV remote utilizes Bluetooth or some variation of RF to control the TV. Is there any way to get the Google Fiber Remote to control turning.

One of the better apps for a remote
I have a iPhone 6 and a TCL t.v. And out of the 4 I’ve tried this one works better than them all. Yes there are ads but it’s every once in awhile and not to bothersome really. It connects fast and the volume buttons work great as the other ones I’ve had problems with. I give it 4 because I still hate ads but understand it’s part of the process. Overall as a remote it’s great and the distance on it is pretty darn good also. I can use it way further than my normal remote can. Good app!
Love it
It absolutely works I’ve been using it since I lost my remote two weeks ago. Paid the two dollars to get the ads gone and it was totally worth it because I’ve never had any problems with it. It is so easy to use, if only Roku would have an update to where I could use this to type my searches in instead of using the remote to go letter by letter it would be amazing. But it is still the best.
Super remote
I love my Roku tv but hate the remote. You can’t go right to the channel you want to watch. You have to go through one by one channel. With the Smurple you go right to channel you want. I can even set up my favorite channels list too.
