Re: Remote skips or jumps over multiple channel tiles

Just try SETTINGS/SYSTEM/SOFTWARE UPDATE then once your Roku is updated go to SETTINGS/SYSTEM/POWER/SYSTEM RESTART.  This worked for me five weeks ago and I have used this on various TCL ROKU TVs, my Roku Ultra and my sister's ONN Roku TV.

Re: Remote skips or jumps over multiple channel tiles

Welcome Techie Tom.

After you have been on Roku's forums for a while you will realize that their canned advice to Turn off, Reset,Reload,Update ad infinitum is just a game. Hundreds of people asking for a fix to their problems (and there are many,Check the forums)

At least you are original suggesting they add a 2"  fan to their remote. Got to love that one. How about putting the remote in a ziplock bag and putting it in that ice pitcher that you use to cool whatever you are drinking ?

I just wish I was working for a competitor then maybe my five devices would work...

As long as you are satisfied with the way you have to operate your device then carry on....

Re: Remote skips or jumps over multiple channel tiles

Mine just started doing this.  I wonder what conditions caused it.  If we could identify the cause, maybe it would give them a clue about how to fix it.

It says "subscribe to a thread to be notified of updates."  How do  you do that?

Remote skips or jumps over multiple channel tiles

My remote keys are moving about 2 to 3 steps ahead or up and down when I only press it once!! Most apps but not all..so frustrating....what can I do? Do I have to buy a new remote? Already tried a reset and changed battery
