Roku has replaced my remote,everything is great,thank you
I too am having Roku Remotes eat batteries like mad, about every two weeks, I have to install fresh batteries. That' with very very lite use of the Roku Remote. This is ridiculous. How can I get replacement Roku remotes?
Hi @TGladd,

I work as a big tech engineer. It is a bad assumption to believe the remote is "eating batteries" as a hardware power consumption malfunction and not intentionally refusing to operate based on a fake "dead battery" report due to software programming.
It is not a warranty issue if the product was intentionally designed to "malfunction" this way in order to coerce unnecessary replacements and upgrades. That is a consumer rights issue. It would not be the first time a prominent tech company was caught falsely reporting battery capacity in order to stimulate sales.
Sadly I do not have the resources to know this for certain, but trend data in consumer reports paints a clear picture something is not right here.
