What is so special about original TCL remotes, and why do universal remotes not work very well with TCL Roku televisions? Unless there is something incredibly special about TCL Roku remotes and TVs (special IR control signals, for example), I am at a loss to explain why universal remotes do not work, well or at all, with TCL Roku sets. Universal remotes, after all, are supposed to be designed to work with almost any IR-controlled TV. Again, the only thing I can think of which would prevent any standard universal remote from working with a TCL Roku TV is if these televisions use very special IR control signals, which only an OEM TCL Roku remote can produce.
