TV Controlled by Someone else

I bought a small TCL Roku TV from a local pawn shop recently and ever since hooking it up someone else's controller is affected by my remote and vice versa. My sister has a similar TV in her room next to mine with no issues. Ive set up device control to use in a dorm or hotel but that hasn't helped. I have factory reset twice and this is still happening. I'm on an upstairs level so it's hard for someone to just point and control. Please help!

    So, your controller is also controlling another TV? There's your clue right there. Whose TV have you identified it as controlling?

      My account doesn't say. I see my TV and that's its. It's the first roku I've owned so this is a brand new account. At the time of writing this my TV is turning on and off without me even touching the controller.

        First, if you take the batteries out, does it continue?

        Next, I'm going to assume the "and vice versa" should be ignored. It seems that you're saying that something appears to be controlling your TV, but you have not seen anything to indicate your controller is controlling another TV.
