Does anybody else think the Roku remote button is in the worst location on the remote? I hit it all the time by accident. Even when trying to raise or lower the volume. I wish they would redesign the remote and put the mute button on the top surface toward the bottom.
Yes! I hate it.
Definitely a sore spot with me. Too easy to accidentally mute; I do it at least once a day. What made Roku think it's placement was a good idea, and why?
I think Roku likes their sleek and simple-looking remote.
One workaround, is to lie during remote set up and program it so none of those buttons actually affect the TV.
Roku is not going to change anything that affects molded plastic part tooling and every published document printed regarding their voice remote. How about a simple software upgrade that adds a sort of debounce time factor to the button response, such as the mute input is ignored unless the button press lasts an unbroken 1 second or longer? In fact, it wouldn't hurt to treat the V+ and V- buttons the same way. Better yet, make the debounce feature selectable yes or no on the screen setup instructions. These kind of "soft" upgrades can be made almost without even announcing them or revising anything in writing.
