Why does my roku in my office control a different roku in my living room?

I have two separate roku's and one account. When I use the remote in my living room, it controls the roku in my office.  How do I get them to work separately?

We need more information.  Is it a simple remote (with no TV controls) or a voice remote?  Is there a clear line of sight from your office to your living room?

Both remotes are Roku simple remotes and there is no line of sight - they are two separate rooms and the rokus are about 20-25 feet from each other.

Re: Why does my roku in my office control a different roku in my living room?

There's no way to get a simple remote to control only one Roku device.  If light from the remote can reach a Roku device whether in a straight line or reflecting off a surface then the Roku will respond.  If you want a remote that can only control one Roku at a time you can pair voice remotes with each Roku.
