Re: My Roku Remote Keeps Scrolling

Thanks for responding, @lindalou6042.

I appreciate you trying to troubleshoot your Roku remote. Just to clarify, is this the remote that comes with your Hisense Roku TV, or is it paired with a different Roku player? If so, kindly provide us with the serial number so I can check. 

Thanks,
Carly

Re: My Roku Remote Keeps Scrolling

Our Roku was acting possessed. We did the reboots,etc.  Since we have two remotes, just to try to fix this, I took the batteries out of the OEM remote. Viola! It all stopped scrolling and acting goofy. It must be a switch stuck "on" on the PCB in the remote. Time for a new one!
