Remote intermittently working

New Roku. The voice remote all of a sudden will only intermittently work. It will all of a sudden stop responding when buttons are pressed. Then a few moments later, it will work and then delay again. I have tried replacing the batters, restarting the system, repairing the remote, nothing is helping. It is incredibly frustrating and can’t seem to find an answer to fix it.

Re: Remote intermittently working

The fix is unknown to Roku, or a well kept secret.  The cause is most likely a remote that goes to sleep.  Waking it up by patiently hitting a button brings back functionality.  Poor engineering and at some point, I'll go back to Firestick which does not have this problem.  Deal with it folks.
