This reminder can pause your video playback on other channels besides Netflix on your Roku. In case you are wondering what triggers it to show up, it's your Roku remote.

This can serve a purpose, so if you typically like to watch TV with the remote in your hand it should never be an issue unless you fall asleep. Then you won't wake up having burned through 3 seasons of a show you just started watching.
