Just wondering if anyone else has run into this issue. Occasionally when navigating the guide it will just keep scrolling horizontally or vertically on its own, acts like someone is holding down one of the directional arrows.
Seems to only due it in the Channels app.
Yep all the time. It's like the button press registers more than once. Today I had uncontrollable fast forward and rewind. I would push the button and nothing would happen and then an after seconds later it would jumps minutes ahead or back.
I've had that happen with both the Apple remote and the Function 101 remote in Channels. The Apple remote needs rebooted - see here: If your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote isn't working - Apple Support
That has solved the problem for me every time.
Ever have it happen in any other Apple TV apps?
I have to replace the Apple TV Remote (latest gen Siri remote) every 6 months or so.
The buttons get very very crunchy or mushy, and the right d pad button (used for skip fwd/FF) always starts registering double or triple presses.
The remote is in a silicone case that somewhat protects it, but i have never spilled any liquid or gotten food on the remote...they just wear out from normal use.
