## Questions

Is there a TCL Roku TV remote app for iPhone?

Yes. Simple TV Remote is a TCL Roku TV remote app for iPhone that works with TCL 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 turn on a TCL Roku TV without the remote?

Press the power button on the TV. TCL says the button is usually under or behind the TCL logo. 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 pair a TCL 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 TCL 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 restart a TCL 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 factory reset a TCL 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 connect a TCL 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.

Why does the app say my Roku TV isn't allowing control?

Open Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Control by mobile apps and set it to Enabled. Roku TVs from Roku OS 14.1 on ask for this before they accept button presses from a phone app.

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.

How do I know my TCL is a Roku TV?

The Roku logo shows at start-up. On the TV, Settings > System > About shows the model.

How do I make my Roku TV start faster?

TCL's guide: Settings > System > Power > Fast TV Start, then Enable. It uses more standby power.

Which TCL Roku TV models work with Simple TV Remote?

TCL Roku TV TVs from 2014–2024 work, including the 4610, 3700, 3800, 3850, US5800 4K, UP130 4K, P-Series, C-Series series sold in United States and United Kingdom and Canada. Search for your exact model code in the table on this page.

## About these TVs

TCL was one of the first Roku TV brands. Its first Roku TVs went on sale in the US in 2014, and Roku TV ran most of TCL's US range for years, from the 3-Series to the 8-Series.

Since 2021 TCL has also sold Google TV and Fire TV models, often in the same series. From 2023 a US code ending in R means Roku TV.

In the UK, TCL launched Roku TV models in June 2021. UK Roku codes start with R after the size (43RP620K).

Roku's developer documentation says ECP commands may not be sent from third-party mobile apps. Use the Roku mobile app instead.
