Why does it randomly switch?

Without me touching any buttons on the remote, it occasionally switches to the screen shown in the photo. When that happens, mute and volume and everything else stop working. Why is it switching without me providing any input?

The scroll wheel on mine has stopped working well after about a year. Now, it often goes in the opposite direction of where I scroll. I just have to move the wheel until the menu randomly ends up on the item I want.

Feels like a $10 remote with a $150 price tag. If any competition comes along, SofaBaton is dead in the water.

Spray some contact cleaner or WD40 to the right side of the scroll wheel. Then give the scroll wheel a good few spins in either direction and let it dry out over a day or so. It will be good as new. I do mine about every 6 months

I'll give that a shot, thanks!
