Last night when I was using my roku remote control on the tv for streaming every time I tried to use the directional button it would go all the way to the end instead of one space. Is there a fix ? Or do we need to get a new remote.
Many people with this problem, not all, have found that a simple restart of the Roku has eliminated the problem. (Note that if yours is a Roku TV with "Fast start" enabled, turning it off and back on just puts it into and out of a standby state and does NOT give you a complete restart.)
Depending on your Roku model and Roku version number you'll find the "System restart" option under "Settings > System > Power" or if not there, under "Settings > System".
If a restart doesn't do it, or if you don't have sufficient control with the remote to navigate the Roku menus, you can also restart by pulling the power plug to the Roku for a few seconds then plugging it back in and waiting for it to restart.
