Hi Ummagumma1969,
Thanks for reaching out here in Roku Community.
We're more than happy to look into this further. May we ask what Roku remote you have, a simple or voice remote? Have you tried to re-pair your remote to see if it helps? What troubleshooting steps have you already taken to try to resolve the issue?
For reference on how to re-pair your Roku remote visit this page: How to fix your Roku voice or simple remote that is not working
We'll be waiting for your feedback.

I have 2 Roku 3941 RW units where the remote eats up batteries every 2-3 weeks. The Roku units are only 3 months old and we watch TV maybe 2-3 hours a day at most. I use the Duracell Copper top alkaline batteries.
Can this be corrected or a fix for this issue?

I have the same exact battery issue for a looooong time with multiple remotes and have tried numerous tips on these threads with no luck. What are my options here? I like my Roku but this battery thing is slowly becoming a dealbreaker. Is my best solution to use a competitor's product?

I had this issue a few years back, it would eat a set of batteries in a week to 2 weeks even in non use periods as well. I do NOT use the voice command & had it disabled. My thoughts were the microphone was always listening & draining power although it was disabled &/or the unit was off.
I switched over to Rechargeables as I was tired of this, but it seems to have gone away or greatly improved about 1 to 2 months+ on a charge of my, NiMH AAA's 900mAh. I was thinking of going back to Alkalines to see how it would perform.
I have an older Roku Express Model 3900, without the voice activated remote, the batteries last well over a year & never had an issue.
I was thinking one of the software upgrades may had fixed this somewhere along the way.
