There must be a way and I would appreciate knowing how to do this. I should add that my Roku box is old, maybe 15yrs (give or take) so I may need to update the box and the remote for the Roku.

My thanks in advance.
I would suggest buying a new Roku device. Model 3820R2 for $50 at Best Buy or Amazon is just a plug-in stick, not a box. But, it can be programmed to operate the TV on/off and the volume. I have found that it is not a good idea to use the USB power on the TV, but to plug it directly into a wall outlet or surge protector. The Roku stick will plug directly into an HDMI port on the TV. No box is needed.
