Vudu launching by itself

Jump to solution

I just recently purchased Roku Ultra LT from Walmart.   Recently without warning the unit suddenly launches into "VUDU" app.  I am not even touching the "Vudu" button on the remote or not even near the remote.  Any suggestions?

Only thing that comes to mind:
Examine the Vudu button closely. Is it stuck in a depressed or partially depressed position?

On recently upgraded roku's bought at Walmart there is an advertisement in the menu list to the left on the home page, usually where the Fandango Now is on non-walmart bought rokus. Its not like the true vudu app there is no library of titles you might have bought, there is rows of titles you can buy and rent, an advertisement. You could have some how launched that?

Thanks for the post.

Does your remote have a Vudu button on it? Have you made sure to check if the button is stuck or lodged by any chance?

Please keep us posted.

Thanks for the update.

Have you tried removing the channel and then trying to to perform a factory reset on the Roku device to see if you are still experiencing the issue?

For more information about how to perform a factory reset, visit our Support page here: How do I factory reset my Roku® streaming device?

Please keep us posted.

I have found that a bad remote can cause the VUDU launch problem. It will interfere with your other remote if you have one. It seems to randomly transmit a signal even turning on the tv if quick launch is enabled. I took the batteries out of the suspect remote and all is well.
