Remote for 3600R does not have button to skip ads

Jump to solution

SKU# 3600R, Serial Number 5S56AG185532

When watching channels such as YouTube, advertisements display and then a notice "You can skip ads after x seconds, press button [icon]", however, there is no button on the remote that matches the icon displayed. I've tried several buttons but not all, since I don't want to lose the show or series I'm watching. Is it possible to skip ads on 3600R remote, and if so, how?

When watching YT and you're able to skip the ad, you just simply press the OK key in the middle of the cursor pad on the remote, since there is only one thing on screen that is clickable. You're not moving a mouse around, if there was muliiple things to click on, you would use the up, down,left and right to maneuver until you highlight the one you want.

Thanks, Tivoburkee. I just didn't think of hitting OK, but it works wonderfully. I really appreciate your reply and explanation. I'm a happy camper again!

Thank you.  Using the OK button also works on the Roku Streaming Stick+ remote control.
