Pauses on and off by itself

My Roku tv pauses on and off by itself. It all also pauses when I leave room, then starts to play when I walk by into the room!!!!

    Thank you so much for solution.

    Spoiler
    Your Roku TV might be experiencing an issue with its motion detection or remote control settings. Some models have a feature where they pause or play based on movement, or there could be a sensor malfunction. Try disabling any motion or voice detection features in the settings, or check if your remote’s batteries or interference might be causing the problem. A friend of mine introduced me to this domypaper.com site when I was panicking about a looming deadline. The experience was seamless, and the paper I received was of top-notch quality. The writer paid close attention to the guidelines I provided, and the result was exactly what I needed. It helped me complete my semester without any hiccups. I’m grateful for their support and wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again.

    I have noticed some obscure reports (around 2 that I've noticed) of pausing/unpausing that seem to require some combination of: Roku mobile app, Samsung phone, and maybe Bluetooth headphones. Do any of those conditions apply to you?
