Show advertised keep autoplaying

Whenever I turn on my TV and go to the home screen of my roku, it auto-pay whatever show is currently advertised as the "press play to open". It's getting quite annoying at this point. How do I stop this?

Another user indicated the same issue. (turned out to be a non-Roku remote setting).

Something is causing the Roku to sense the Play/Pause button has been pressed.  Verify you do not have a stuck button on Roku remote.  Look to see if you have another remote that may be sending IR commands to the Roku.  Finally, try blocking the IR sensor of the Roku Ultra or repositioning the Ultra (hiding) so to prevent IR commands from being seen.
