Roku is displaying remote battery at 0%. It does not matter what batteries I use. New batteries, still show 0%. The only way I can get it to work for a few seconds is to remove the batteries and replace them. It appears that the remote is defective
Or maybe the Roku's response to the remote is faulty.
Try giving the Roku a restart. Depending on your Roku model you'll find the "System restart" option under "Settings > System > Power" or if not there, under "Settings > System".
Thanks @makaiguy,
Unfortunately still have the same problems. I think it may just be a defective remote.
