Features, settings & updates

[SimOcto]

Since the latest update, the stick barely recognizes the remote anymore. I have to be almost directly in front of the TV in order for the stick to recognize the presence of the remote. Before this update, I could use the remote from anywhere in the house, even several rooms away to pause/unpause a program since it relied on my network.

Now, the remote and the stick don't seem to communicate very well. It takes several seconds to kick into action. It's not my network, as the Roku app on my phone still controls the stick from several rooms away (and I have several network devices, both wireless and wired, that aren't experiencing problems).

And yes, I've restarted everything, disconnected/reconnected the stick from various SSIDs in my home, and replaced the batteries in the remote (I've been in IT for 30 years; I know how to turn it off and turn it on again and do basic device troubleshooting). Given the timing and the behavior, it's the result of the latest update.

While I'm not suffering this issue, I've been a Roku user since the second generation device and I've never seen SO MANY builds released in a short period of time with a new OS version..its clear Roku dev team isn't thoroughly testing before release. What I've been seeing is exit app issues with You Tube and none of the builds have solved it
