I have several (like 5) Roku products. Each and everyone of them have battery/remote issues. This product is a defect and needs fixing. I have had this issue and products for at least 5 years. It appears that this is not a reflection of a majority of Roku users/owners, but it definitely is an issue the company needs to rectify.
I am not the remote control wizard, but I could take one apart and solder connections if needed…….so, I’m not stupid. Fix your remotes. I want to believe in the product I bought and support, but it is hard to do when all the remotes are seemingly defective.
roku….fix your **bleep**!!!!
