Whether you’re a new Roku user or simply looking to reset your remote, follow these simple steps to ensure seamless integration between your Roku device and television.
Step 1: Power on your Roku device
Before you begin, make sure your Roku device is powered on and connected to your TV. This will ensure that the remote can communicate with the device during the programming process.
