Buy a bluetooth USB mini-keyboard mouse.
Not normal, something is wrong with your remote or your batteries.
If its the remote, replacements are available at a decent price.

Not normal. I believe I have a ROKU 3. I would say that my batteries drain too quickly also, but it's months, not days. And, I'm 100% it's because I have cheap ass batteries (like Harbor Freight).
In case you didn't know, they have a Ustream channel called Nowhere Man. You can get the code to add to ROKU for it here: http://hiddenchannel.com/
Freddie <~~~ love watching pool on ROKU
I never use my remote. I downloaded the Roku app and use my phone. It's a MUCH better interface and easier to use.
Is maybe one of the keys sticking and constantly activated? Spill some sweet tea on it?
no smart phone...but ty away. Johnnyt
Thank you all for the help. I went to Best Buy that said on their web site they had new Roku remotes. Got there and they had none. Instead of going to another store, my wife just bought the new Roku model, a digital recorder, and some good earphones for me. I faught her tooth and nail not to buy them. Johnnyt
Are you listening to headphones plugged into the remote? This will definitely eat batteries quickly.
No I am not. Johnnyt
A great feature of the app that is easily overlooked is its ability to play any video files you have on your phone on your tv. My physical remote (for a Roku 3) does not have that feature.

You need to chalk your Roku daily. :boring2:
yep
My first Roku remote was always going on the blink; it finally just stopped working.....I sent it back and they sent me a new one.....it worked OK a couple times, then stopped...I replaced batteries and that did the trick...I take one battery out every time I stop using it now....
