KlikyTV remotes are interchangeable only within limits. A Roku voice remote pairs with any current Roku; a Roku simple remote does not work with Streaming Sticks. Any current Alexa Voice Remote pairs with any Fire TV. A Samsung remote will not control an LG TV. A phone app such as Kliky covers different brands.
What works with what
| Remote | Another device of the same brand | A different brand |
|---|---|---|
| Roku simple (infrared) | Roku boxes and Roku TVs; not Streaming Sticks | No |
| Roku voice remote | Any current Roku, after pairing | TV power and volume only |
| Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote | Any current Fire TV, after pairing | TV power and volume only |
| Samsung standard (infrared) | Most Samsung TVs, basic keys | No |
| Samsung Smart Remote | Samsung TVs of a matching year range, after pairing | No |
| LG Magic Remote | LG TVs of a matching year range, after registering | No |
| Universal remote | Yes | Yes, for brands in its code list |
One remote, two TVs
A paired remote belongs to one device. Pairing it with a second Roku or Fire TV removes it from the first, so you cannot carry one voice remote between rooms without pairing each time. Infrared remotes have the opposite problem: two TVs of the same brand in one room both obey.
Why “same brand” is not always enough
Samsung and LG change their smart remotes every couple of years, and a remote from one generation may only work as a basic infrared remote, or not at all, on another. Match a replacement to the TV’s model year. See Samsung TV remote replacement and LG TV remote replacement.
TVs sold under one brand can also run different software. A Hisense Roku TV and a Hisense Google TV use different remotes.
One remote for a mixed household
A phone app is not tied to a brand or a year. Each TV and streaming device on your Wi‑Fi appears in a list, with the layout its own remote has.
- Install Kliky from the App Store or Google Play.
- Connect your phone to the same Wi‑Fi as the TV.
- Pick the TV in the list and confirm on the TV if it asks.
