Pause/Play button redirects to the Roku Channel

So when I was trying to do a Roku hack where I open a secret screen, it requires me to use the play button on the home screen (obviously), but whenever I do that, it redirects me to the Roku Channel and I don't want that, so can you either remove the feature or make it so I can disable it?

    You need to get rid of the ad that gets activated when you press Play/Pause.  Sometimes restarting will get rid of it long enough to enter the remote sequence.  It may take a few restarts, but it's not always possible.
