Switches itself to HULU ?

Jump to solution

Occasionally when I am looking for a movie to watch my Roku will switch itself to the Sign up for HULU page.

How can I stop this?

Does your Roku remove have a dedicated button for Hulu? Many do. You might be accidentally be brushing that button while you're using the remote, or it might have some contaminant that is causing the button to stick. 

If you're hitting that button by accident, all I can say is to try to stop doing that. Not real helpful, I know. If the button is sticking, remove the batteries and then see if you can clean out the area around the buttons.

I am very careful not to hit the Hulu button, specially after the first dozen or so times it happened.

I opened the remote and removed the rubber pad with the Netflix, ESPN, Hulu, Sling, 1, and 2 buttons. It still randomly switches to Hulu. I call shenanigans on Roku!

@PKY, I call a malfunctioning remote with a failure or short circuit.
