Two Roju Express on same account but different rooms.

Have two Roku Express devices on the same accout but in different rooms. If I change channels in the bedroom the unit in the living room also changes. Same if I try and mirror my phone to one set it mirrors to both. I find all sorts of conflicting solutions but really need a clear suggestion. I don not see any instructions on how to pair the remotes to their specific TV. Thanks

Re: Two Roju Express on same account but different rooms.

Roku express comes with simple IR remote, which can't be change to a different address. It will control all other Roku that accept IR commands in its sight. IR signals can bounce off walls so it can control other Roku's in other rooms if the signal can reach. Remedy is to abandon the IR remotes from BOTH Rokus and replace BOTH with Roku Wifi Voice remotes. Which can be purchased separately. Cheapest is $20, there are two Voice remote with rechargeable batteries and other features for $30 a piece. This is your only remedy.

... or take physical measures to keep the infrared remote signals from bouncing between rooms.

  • Close doors on one or both rooms, if there are any.
  • Reposition or reorient affected TV(s) and Roku(s), or even put up barriers, to prevent infrared signals coming in open doors from hitting on front of Roku(s).
