      My down button has suddenly stopped bringing up menu. It still works when using guide ect. Just won’t bring up menu like it used to.

        Imspeedy24, I assume you're using the DirecTV channel/app.  There's at least half a dozen threads here with people complaining.  It's not a Roku issue.  Take it up with the developer of the channel/app - DirecTV/AT&T.

      This appears to be a Roku issue, not a remote issue. I have two devices in my house and all of a sudden neither down arrow on either remote is work. Coincidence?

        cumiskeymd, are you using the DirecTV channel/app?  If so, read my post right above yours.
