First off sorry for posting this reply here so late. I initially replied to your email notification but after not hearing back I decided to check here.
The main issue I’m experiencing with my Roku remote is the “right” selection button up in the blue area next to “OK”. The button requires a strong push to work but even then it only works half of the time. The other buttons are fine. I’ve checked the batteries and they are fine/new.
How can I get this fixed/replaced? Thanks in advance!
There currently no aftermarket remotes that will replace the Wifi remote needed with Roku Sticks. The ultra can be controlled via IR by many aftermarket remotes.
Keys give way from constant use, even $500 universal remotes have this problem. Replace the remote.
I would think that the remote should last longer than 6-8 months before it starts having operational issues.
