Random jumping from app to app no reason

This is insane.  My Roku  has totally taken over all control.  It is not a remote issue because it continues happening when the remote is completely removed from the room.  I have 7 tvs all with the same big occurring on my players.  Am I the only one?  I have to believe the answer is no!

Re: Random jumping from app to app no reason

Keep in mind that most of Roku’s remotes use Wi-Fi so they aren’t limited to the same room like a classic IR remote.  Just a data point for your debugging.  For example, if a family member wanted to mess with you, I’m guessing you can pair more then one remote to a Roku and someone can make your Roku dance from all over the house.  (Or maybe even the neighbors’ house.)  Oh and they can do that with the phone app too.  Just some ideas.

Banned but back. Because why not?

I'm confirming it.  I have 3 voice remotes paired to my living room Streaming Stick 3821.
