Re: tv powers off with remote use

It could be a malfunctioning remote.  Try using the mobile app as a remote to see if it still happens.

Re: tv powers off with remote use

I recently bought a Roku remote from Goodwill Outlets, but now every time I press any button, my TV shuts off instead of performing the intended action. It worked fine for the first few days, but now I can't even navigate without turning off my TV.

Possible Causes:

  • The power button might be stuck or faulty.

  • Infrared (IR) interference could be causing miscommunication with the TV.
