I bought my Roku maybe about 7 months ago and have had the same problem for months now. I tried talking on here before and they kept telling me it must be the remote. Bought a new remote same problem. Then they said it needed an update but apparently it checks updates every day by itself. I have noticed that it happens mostly when I open Amazon and search for a video. As you type and you’re almost finished it jumps up and you have to start all over again. So unless I know the title of a movie I either don’t watch it on Roku or I start the movie on another device, open Amazon and look for it on the “Continue watching” area. But it’s kind of ridiculous that I have to do this for months now. Today I was scrolling through my settings on the set and it starting happening again, this time with vudu. It’s some kind of software issue but no one seems to want to try and tackle that. I might be going back to my Amazon stick soon.
I got a pop-up ad on the sidebar of my main screen for a genuine roku IR remote. I purchased it immediately thinking that my whole problem could be with the cheap replacement remote that I bought off Amazon. The Amazon remote does not have the little purple tag at the bottom, so maybe not genuine? Once I get the new remote directly from Roku, I'll reply to let you know if it works.
