Lost the Sharp Roku TV remote, or it won't pair? Your iPhone can be the remote over your home Wi-Fi, in the US or the UK: navigation, volume, apps and a real keyboard for search. Try it free, then it's $5.99 once.

What works

Roku's developer terms restrict control from third-party phone apps.

  • Navigation and OK
  • Volume and mute
  • Keyboard
  • Open apps
  • Turn off

In the app

Pairing takes about a minute, once per TV.

    Can’t find your TV? Add it by IP address

    If your TV doesn’t show up in the app, tap “Can’t find it?” and type the TV’s IP address. Here’s where the TV shows it.

    1. Find the TV's IP address

      Settings › Network › About

      The IP address is listed on the About screen; it looks like 192.168.1.23.

    How to read a Sharp model number

    Hover over or tap each part of the code.

    UK and European Sharp TVs, 2021 onward

    55HJ4225K
    • 55Screen size in inches
    • HModel-year letter: E (2021), F (2022–2023), G (late 2023–2024), H (2025), J (late 2025–2026), going by EPREL registration dates
    • JProduct line. Read together with the year letter, it tells you the platform: for example FN is Android TV, GP is Google TV, HJ is Roku TV and HK is TiVo OS
    • 4225Series and variant digits (finish, stand or retailer variant)
    • KRegion: K is UK, E is Europe, I is Ireland. A second letter A or G on 2021–2023 sets marks Android TV or Google TV

    The label and datasheet show a longer reference starting with 1T-C (HD), 2T-C (Full HD) or 4T-C (4K), for example 4T-C55HJ4225KB. Both forms identify the same TV.

    US Sharp TVs, 2022 onward

    4T-C55EL8UR
    • 4T-C4K TV
    • 55Screen size class in inches
    • EL8Year letter and series
    • UUS model
    • RRoku TV (on Sharp's current US Roku TV models)

    This reading is inferred from Sharp USA's current model list (EL8UR and FS1UR are Roku TVs; FV1U and HP7050U are not). Sharp does not publish a code guide.

    How to use your iPhone as a Sharp Roku TV remote

    1. Join the same Wi-FiConnect your iPhone and the TV to the same home Wi-Fi network.
    2. Pick your TV in the appOpen Simple TV Remote and choose your Roku TV. The free check runs on your own TV before you pay.
    3. Allow phone control if askedIf the app says the TV is blocking control, open Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Control by mobile apps on the TV and set it to Enabled.
    4. Use it like a remoteNavigation, volume, apps, typing and power off work from your iPhone. Turn the TV on with its button or remote.

    Questions

    Is there a Sharp Roku TV remote app for iPhone?

    Yes. Simple TV Remote is a Sharp Roku TV remote app for iPhone that works with Sharp Roku TV sets running Roku TV. It pairs over your home Wi-Fi and sends real commands in a free check, so you know it works on your exact TV before you pay $5.99, once.

    How do I factory reset a Sharp Roku TV?

    Press Home, then go to Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Factory reset > Factory reset everything, and follow the steps. It erases your settings, so the TV has to be set up again, including Wi-Fi. Try a restart first.

    How do I restart a Sharp Roku TV?

    Press Home, then go to Settings > System > Power > System restart. Without the menu, unplug the TV for at least 10 seconds and plug it back in. A restart doesn't change your settings.

    How do I pair a Sharp Roku TV remote?

    Hold the pairing button for 5 seconds until the status light flashes. It's on the back or under the battery cover. If there's no pairing button, hold Back and Home for 5 seconds instead. Simple remotes without a voice button use infrared and don't need pairing.

    How do I pair a new remote to a Sharp Roku TV with no working remote?

    Unplug the TV, wait at least 5 seconds, plug it back in and wait for the Home screen, which puts the TV in pairing mode. Then hold the remote's pairing button, or Back and Home, for 5 seconds until the light flashes.

    How do I turn on a Sharp Roku TV without the remote?

    Press the power button on the TV. The quick start guide for your model shows where it is. Simple TV Remote controls the TV once it's on and can turn it off, but we don't promise turning a Roku TV on from your iPhone.

    How do I connect a Sharp Roku TV to Wi-Fi without the remote?

    You need a remote for that step. Roku says its own app can't find a Roku TV that isn't connected to the internet, for example after a reset, and the same goes for Simple TV Remote. Once the TV is back on Wi-Fi, your iPhone can be the remote.

    How can I tell if my Sharp TV is a Roku TV?

    The home screen says Roku. In the UK and Europe, Sharp Roku TVs have letters such as FD, GJ, HJ or JD after the size in the model name, for example 55HJ4225K. In the US, look for Roku on the box or start-up screen.

    Can I use the Roku app instead?

    Yes. Roku's free Roku app turns your phone into a remote for any Roku TV. Simple TV Remote is a simpler option that also covers other TVs you own, with no account, for $5.99 once after a free check.

    Does Sharp sell the same model with Google TV?

    Not the same model, but Sharp sells separate Google TV lines in Europe (for example GL, GP, HL and HP) and the AQUOS XLED in the US.

    Which Sharp Roku TV models work with Simple TV Remote?

    Sharp Roku TV TVs from 2017–2026 work, including the LBU591U, EL8UR, FD, FJ, FS1UR (OLED), GD, GJ, HD series sold in United Kingdom and Europe and United States. Search for your exact model code in the table on this page.

    How do I connect my iPhone to a Sharp Roku TV TV?

    Put your iPhone and TV on the same Wi-Fi, open Simple TV Remote and pick your TV. Follow the prompt on the TV once, and the app remembers it.

    About these TVs

    Sharp sells Roku TV models in the UK and Europe from 2023, and they make up most of Sharp's UK range. In the US, Sharp sold Roku TVs in 2017 (the LBU591U series) and again from 2022 (the EL8UR LED and FS1UR OLED models).

    Roku's developer terms restrict control from third-party mobile apps, so we will only add it if that changes. The free Roku mobile app works with these sets.
