I'm a little tired of having to do that though, so I'd like to use my universal remote instead (it's an IR remote). Does anyone know the 4-digit code I need to pair the universal remote to the box? For some reason, I can't find this information anywhere. When I search these boards for it, I find people talking about expensive universal remotes from Logitech that come with the codes built in, or complicated hex codes, or other things that don't apply to my situtation. I just need a four digit code so I can use my $12 remote with the box.
Thanks.
As
Gilgamesh said, the Roku code for one remote might not work on another remote. Yours might not support Roku, but until you look up the latest documentation for your specific made and model universal remote, you won't know.
If it doesn't support Roku (and it very well may not), you may be able to find a relatively cheap remote that will. My son bought a universal remote in the $10 - $20 range at Best Buy a few months ago that he uses for his TV and his Roku. I want to say it was a Phillips brand, but I'm not 100% certain. Best Buy, Kmart, Sears, Walmart, or even Family Dollar may have an inexpensive remote that will work. But, like my son did, and like
Gilgamesh suggested, look and see if Roku is listed as a supported device.
