We appreciate you for joining us here at the Roku Community, @BigDogDad!
We sincerely regret any difficulties your remote issue may have caused you, but no worries, we're here to find you the best resolution possible. As a workaround, we can perform a system reboot on your Roku streaming device by navigating to your Home screen. Scroll up or down to select Settings > System > Power (if this option is unavailable, proceed to the next step) > System restart. Furthermore, please be aware that it is not the same as pressing the power button on your remote or the physical power button on the TV itself. Instead, a system restart is performed by removing the power cord from your Roku device for at least 10 seconds before plugging it back in.
Kindly let us know how it goes, as we are eager to aim for your convenience and satisfaction. Hope this helps!
Regards,
Carly
