Re: Volume control for Roku

Thank you, folks. Have it working. Low end remote does have IR port, it simply takes close look to notice, as it's blanded into entire front of the remote.
Also, it works with high end Roku, but I had to get 2 feet away from it. Thereafter, I could back away from it and it kept working. I think, it simply had to "learn" IR remote, as there was a moment of hesitance in responce, then it was all good.
Also, finished setting up my learning remote - and it also works. The only button I can not set up is Home, but it's ok.
Once again - thank you. It's still a 4 step dance, as I have to switch between remote modes to get to volume, but it's better than carrying 2 remotes.
Home should work too. When you're learning it, be sure there's not a lot of other light and/or ir sources nearby to get the best 'read' from the original. Things like table amps, tvs, and anything hot, bright, or with high-frequency on-off pulsing (like many dimmers) can trip up both the learning process and (sometimes) even active use of the original or learned remote. I say this from experience :).

Re: Volume control for Roku

HOME can not be learned on universal remote. There's HOME button, but during learning, if it's pressed - it simply exits learning mode and goes to the remote "home", or welcome screen. I substituted with "exit" button on universal, will serve the purpose for now.
