Here is a summary of the issue, for those who don't want to peruse 15 pages of posts:
Rokus have been acting as if remote buttons are bouncing or fluttering - one press often leads to that button registering 3-20 times on the Roku.
The community consensus so far is that it is related to a recent update.
Some things that temporarily fix the problem for some people:
- As simple as restarting the Roku has helped for some (Settings -> System -> Power -> System Restart -> Restart or simple unplugging power from the device)
- A "magic" button press sequence will cause the remote to reset and the Roku to restart:
Press home five times, up arrow, RW twice, FF twice.
The Roku will freeze for a minute then reboot itself. - Re-pairing the Roku remote with the Roku
- Using an HDMI extension cable to move the Roku so it's not behind the TV and has better line of sight to the remote.
Some people have reported good success with as little as #1 above. Others report that they have tried all options above and that fixes are temporary. This has been the case with me, though I personally found that #4 above reduced the severity and frequency of the problem.
Roku's support has asked for input from those who are having problems. If the above fixes do not correct the problem permanently for you, then please read this post for the information they want and consider making a proper report about the issue. An example is here.
