Roku is one of the most popular streaming devices in the modern world. Not only streaming devices, but it has also joined hands with a few smart TV brands and released smart TVs with Roku OS like Hisense Roku and TCL Roku. Most of the Roku devices come with a remote to operate and navigate within the apps but what if you lose your remote or the remote stops responding. Today I will show you how you can Turn on Roku Without Remote.
This is to be used only in emergency cases. It is recommended to buy a new remote from Roku Store in case you have lost your remote. However, the Roku mobile application will work perfectly fine until and unless, both the devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
How to Turn on Roku without Remote?
As we all know that streaming devices are not independent and peripheral of the TV which means that there is no power button available on devices. As Roku is connected to smart TV, when the TV is turned on, Roku is also on and when TV is turned off, Roku goes to standby mode.
There is no need to turn on the Roku streaming device manually. It will respond based on the TV that the device is connected to. This applies only if your TV has Roku OS, and no external device is connected to it.
