Hi @Cm314,

Thanks for the note.

We'd like to take a closer look to see if there's anything else we can suggest to help but we need more details.

Here are a few questions here to better understand what you're experiencing:

  • When did this issue first start occurring?
  • Do you have the Roku voice remote or Roku Voice Remote Pro (rechargeable battery)
  • Have you tried re-pairing the remote?
  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue you are seeing?

We also suggest performing the power cycle by unplugging your TV for about 2 minutes. This includes unplugging the HDMI cables from the TV, and the power supply. 

Please keep us posted and we'll continue assisting you from there.


Best regards,
Mary
