Did you follow this procedure when you tried to re-pair your remote to the Roku?

1) Remove power from the Roku for a few seconds then plug back in. This will make the Roku receptive to the pairing request from the remote.

2) Open the remote's battery compartment and bring remote near the Roku . Trying from across the room may not be good enough.

3) When Roku has booted back up from step 1), press and hold pairing button in remote battery compartment for 3 seconds or more - a quick push won't do it.

4) LED in battery compartment should start flashing and continue to blink until the pairing is complete.

I’ve tried that already, and the thing is that as soon as i put the batteries in the remote, the green light begins to flash, and it does not pair with my streaming stick. The thing is that i dont know what the green light flashing constantly means.

    I believe the flashing light means it is trying to pair.

    When I first tried to pair mine again following a factory reset I had the same thing - pressed the pairing button but it just continued to flash. I then found instructions somewhere on the 'net that told me I had to power the Roku down and back up to enable it to react the the remote's pair request. Soon as I did that, it paired without me having to pairing button on the remote.
