I am using a voice activated remote and it is the right arrow that is not responsive. I have tried to re-pair the remote. I don't see a pairing button on the back of the remote.

I re-paired and it seemed to work that first day, but now it is back to being almost totally unresponsive.

I just tried to re-pair by holding the back and home for 20 seconds and now the remote doesn't work at all.

Hi, joining the many many people who's right arrow button doesn't work on the voice remote. Very disappointed. I can't even find a replacement to buy on the Roku website

Hi, thanks for the reply.

This is not a low battery or pairing problem. It's the physical button not working unless you press really hard. All the other buttons are fine.
