Hello, is there a fix for this yet? I'm having the same problem. Having to replace the batteries every 10 days or so. What's the solution?

Re: On my 4th set of remote batteries in a month.

RokuDanny helped me, I sent him my serial number and model.  A new remote has been shipped. 

I want this new remote, but I must tell you something.  Suddenly, my batteries are not wearing out so fast.  I was changing them every 2 days, haven't changed them in over a week.  I had read it was a communication problem and that's why I needed the new remote, so did it fix itself?

Hunt down RokuDanny, he's helped 2 of us now.  My Roku was less than 90 days old.  At first the batteries were fine, then they drained, now fine again.   

Good luck!
