Greetings, JustEd!

If you're having issues with your Roku remote, it's likely due to interference from nearby devices like cable boxes, DVD players, or audio/video receivers. These devices use infrared (IR) technology, which requires the remote to be aimed directly at the IR receiver without any obstructions.

Ensure the remote is aimed right at your Roku TV to get the best results. If you're having trouble, try moving other devices further apart to avoid accidental commands. You can also use the Roku mobile app to control your desired device.

Hope this helps!

Are these IR remotes? That's what most TVs come with. If so, that's pretty much guaranteed to happen. Go into a store, grab a remote for some TV brand, and watch every TV in the store of that brand react to it. (And sometimes a few other brands too.)
However, you should be able to get Wi-Fi (voice) remotes and pair them to separate TVs.
