so i'm having sort of the same problem but i don't think it's the remote, and here's why. when I press the up, down, left, or right button on my remote(or any button for that matter) the little white lite on my roku premiere starts flashing and never stops(normally there's a quick burst of flashes for every button press). now if i obstruct the signal coming from my ir remote it would stop if it was sending out a constant button press right? now the app does work properly which confuses me because that would indicate it's the remote. these to things contradict the other to me can anyone help?
First of all the cellphone app doesn't use IR or RF, it uses IP, the internet. It sounds like IR interference from something in the room, the culprit doesn't have to be the roku remote, it can be any remote in the room., in recent thread it turned out to be a baby monitor interferring. The roku signal IR signal gets caught in a feedback loop and as long as the IR stream is flowing it sends the roku command over and over again. Stand in front of the roku to see if you can block IR from whichever direction its coming from?
