Remote scans tiles without stopping
Roku has gone wild! The remote scans tiles without stopping or reversing when directed. This is occurring on more than one TV. Is anyone else experience this; and does anyone have a clue how to correct it?
I'm about to give up on Roku!
Thank you.

Re: Remote scans tiles without stopping
Hello! @BDP,
Thanks for the posts.
We would be more than happy to look further into this issue, but we will need more detailed information. Can you please provide us with the following information:
- Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and software OS/version (these can all be found in Settings > System > About)
- Does this issue occur on a specific channel? If so, what channel and what version or build is the channel? (This can be found by selecting the channel on the Home screen and pressing the * button.)
- Tracker ID when this issue occurs (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times, and provide us with this ID).
- Steps to reproduce the issue you are seeing
Once we have this information, we will be able to investigate further.
Thanks,

Re: Remote scans tiles without stopping
Mine has been doing the same thing! Drives me crazy. Seems like it started doing this about a month ago. Did Roku change something with their interface? KB

Re: Remote scans tiles without stopping
Mine is doing the same on both of my tvs. It started about a month ago for me as well.
yes…very frustrating. I’ve tried resetting things but that didn’t help. It is worse on some channels more than others.
i would appreciate guidance to correct the problem as well.
Thank you.

Re: Remote scans tiles without stopping
I feel your pain. Mine has been doing the same for the last few weeks. Tried the unplugging thing - didn't work. Thought it could have been the remote so changed batteries - nope. Happens on various channels. These last posts were in July and now this is August and it seems that no one from Roku has an answer.
Model - 3811X, device ID 253192908925, serial # YH002V908925.
Issue report tracker ID 25-331--170
