The problem was the Roku remote that came with the Ultra package. I replaced the remote with the new rechargeable remote, and that seems to have resolved the problem.

We have 3 smart TVs, each has its own roku. Data listed on my account.

Roku Streaming Stick+ #2 Family room YH000R314272 10/15/2020
Roku Streaming Stick+ Bedroom YH000E232804 2/3/2022
Roku Streaming Stick 4K Living room X02500JGV1MU 6/12/2023

ALL 3 setups have the problem, You cannot select a channel directly, NO selecting a series or movie. Only chance or dumb luck gets desired location.

Roku,  Hulu, Britbox, Acorn, all have the same behavior nothing takes a single step, scrolls past 2,3 or 4 steps.

The behavior on the home screen is "normal"  moves one step at a time.

Thank you for this easy solution. Wish I had found this prior to purchasing a new simple remote (which continued with the same issue). I had become totally frustrated with trying to watch anything on my apps.
