Remote issue scrolling on its own? How can I fix this issue?

When I go to the section what to watch I go to the show in the heat of the night when I click on it always takes me to the very first episode.i switch back to choose my episode and series number but instead of letting me choose it begins spinning on its own so I never get to choose which episode I wish to watch.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Re: Remote issue scrolling on its own? How can I fix this issue?

@JSH2-

This doesn't work for everybody, but some people with your problem have eliminated the problem by restarting the Roku. (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 try restarting by pulling the power plug to the Roku for a few seconds then plugging it back in and waiting for it to restart.
