Why is My TCL Roku TV Not Responding to Remote?
If you’re having trouble getting your TCL Roku TV to respond to your remote, there could be a few reasons why. Here are some things to check:
Dead Batteries
The most common reason why your remote isn’t working is dead batteries. Make sure you have fresh batteries in your remote. If your remote still isn’t working, try replacing the batteries again with a different set.
Line of Sight
Your TCL Roku TV remote uses infrared (IR) technology to communicate with your TV. Make sure there is nothing blocking the line of sight between the remote and the TV.

Interference
Other electronic devices in your home can interfere with the signal between your remote and your TCL Roku TV. Try turning off other devices in the room to see if that helps.
Pairing Issues
