Thanks for getting back to me, Chel. I bought the ROKU Express 4K + on June 1st, 2023, on Amazon.ca. I don't know what private listening, is but I live alone, so doubt that I'm using it. I watch TV a fair amount. I am on my 7th pair of batteries. I love the ROKU, and appreciate not having to use the TV remote, but the battery use is not reasonable. My box model number is 3941X, serial number  X016003UUAPE, and my remote is model RC-FA1, serial number is 3226001105. Thank you, Bryan from Nova Scotia, Canada

Hi Chel, 

The few things I have tried are the obvious. I have tried multiple different brands of battery, I have tried unpairing and repairing the remote, I have checked for software updates, I have also even tried pairing the remotes to opposite Roku's. No matter what I do, it burns through the batteries. My remote does not have the private listening jack on it. I use private listening through the app only. If it helps any, the model # for the Roku's is 3941x.

Hi Eunice, I just sent you a private messge. Thanks, Bryan 🙂

Hi Eunice, 

I sent you a private message last week. 

Thank you. 

[Chad403]

So, another week has gone by, I have sent 2 private messages (plus my post here) with more than enough information to work towards a resolution and still nothing. I guess it's time to move on to firestick or some other streaming product company who may care about their customers more. Very disappointed.

Hi Carly,
