Has anyone had any issues with your television doing things randomly. My rokuTv (6 months old) changes channels and inputs on its own.

Hi there,

Thanks for the note. Doe staking the batteries out of your remote resolve the issue? 

If not, it's possible that someone in your house (connected to the same wireless network as the TV) is controlling the Roku TV using the Roku mobile app. You can disable this setting in Settings>System>Advanced system settings>Control by mobile apps>Network access - and choose 'Disabled'.

If the issue stops from there, that would likely explain the behavior you are seeing.  

Thanks,

Tanner

No that did not fix the issue and no one is running the Roku app.

How close are the neighbors? Someone might have paired remote to your tv set on accident?

Hey,

My remote (not even a year old) was doing werid things last night.

1st. - Kept on going to games on the Roku. 

2nd. - Paused on my TV show at 37:37.

3rd. - I went to use the restroom and my older sister came out running because the Roku showed a hospital room.

That's all.

Thanks for the inquiry.

Have you tried replacing the batteries of the remote to see if that resolves the issue.

If you are still unable to resolve the issue, please send me a PM with your Roku account email address, and include the serial number of the Roku device from Settings>System>About. I'll be able to assist you further from there.

Thanks,
Danny

I have a similar problem. Our Roku does what it wants, when it wants. I have tried to search for updates, repaired my remote, replaced the batteries, unplugged it and nothing helps. I am ready to cancel the service!

Similar problem started last night. Remote is acting like a button is stuck but nothing is. Just keeps scrolling thru menus and can’t control it. It stops if I disrupt the view from the remote to Tv or take the batteries out. Currently using the app on my phone instead. Tv is less than a year old.
