Make sure the batteries are in in the right direction. Some roku remotes have both batteries oriented the same way, and people are so used to things having the batteries flipped, that they habitually install them that way.

Factory reset is good for when you sell or otherwise get rid of a Roku (or anything other networked/signed-in-to-anything device.)
