    I discovered three solutions.

    1. After turning off tv with TCL remote I unplug the tv briefly. (Not a good solution)

    2. After turning off tv with TCL remote I remove the batteries from remote, briefly.(Better,  but not good solution)

    3. I downloaded the Roku Remote app and use that solved the problem. (Now I want TCL to replace this defective remote that came with the TV

    Mine keeps doing it too.  Driving me crazy!!  I've contacted Roku and they told me to contact RCA.... So now I wait for a tech to call me back...

      The TV manufacturer is the one with the fix. Mine was unplugging it, holding the physical power button on the TV down for 15 seconds and plugging back in.  Tried all the online options first but this one solved it.
