All GE Remote Codes for Roku & Setup Guide [2024]

In this article, I am going to break down all of the GE Remote codes for Roku 1, 2, 3, 4, Roku Premier and Roku Ultra.

Can I Use A GE Universal Remote with Roku?

I have a Roku Ultra player and I love it.

Currently, I am using the Sofabaton X1 universal remote to control my Roku device and it works great. I just tap a button that launches my “Watch Roku” activity and it automatically switches my TV to the correct input, turns on Roku, my soundbar and also dims my Hue lights.

I had a budget-conscious friend asked me if he could do the same thing with the less expensive GE Universal Remote. Well, not quite my friend but you can use it to control some basic functions of your Roku box.

If you have a GE Universal Remote, you can use it to control most Roku devices.

It will let control all major Roku streaming players like Roku 1-4, Roku Premier, and Roku Ultra.You can also use to control Roku TVs like a TCL TV with Roku installed, a TCL Roku TV, Sharp Roku TVs. or any other brand name of Smart TV that has Roku installed.

It will not let you control the Roku Streaming Stick though as they rely exclusivesly on radio frequency (RF) technology not supported by the GE remote.

Oh and contrary belief, you don’t need to fumble around with the battery compartment, remote cover, volume controls, your set-top box, cable box, etc. to get this to work! LOL.

So if you lost your user manual containing the specific codes or just need some help of key codes, you are in the right place.

Let’s get you those GE remote codes for Roku right now.

If you have a different Roku model or none of these codes work for you, you can also try searching for codes by pressing the “Code Search” button and releasing the “TV” button. This will search for codes automatically and you may find a code that works with your Roku.

Programming the GE Remote (Auto Search Method)

Here is the auto search method to pair the right universal codes with your GE remote (may take 2-3 minutes).

1. Make sure your Roku streaming player is powered on and connected to your TV.
2. Press and hold the “Setup” button on your GE Universal Remote until the button stays lit.
3. Press the “TV” button on your GE Universal Remote.
4. Press the “Power” button on your GE Universal Remote and then release the “Setup” button.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.
6. During the setup process, the GE Universal Remote will automatically search for the correct code for your Roku device. This process can take some time, so be patient and follow the on-screen instructions carefully. If the auto search process is unsuccessful, you may need to try a different method or contact GE customer support for additional assistance.

Programming the GE Remote (Manual Method)

If the auto-search method didn’t work, the next step is to do it manually. Here is the manual method of using the correct GE universal remote codes for your Roku.

To program your GE Remote codes for Roku, follow these steps:

2. Press the power button, then press and hold the Setup button on your GE Universal Remote until the indicator light turns on and stays lit.
3. Press and release the button for the device you want to control (in this case, “Roku”).
4. Enter the first code listed for your Roku device. You can find a list of codes for different Roku models below. If the code doesn’t work, try the next code on the list.
5. If the code works, the indicator light (red light) will turn off. If not, repeat steps 3-4 until you find a code that works. You may need to enter a new code if it doesn’t work immediately.
