How do I jump from one channel to another that is far away on the guide. There are no numbers to enter the desired channel. I have tried the voice command by saying jump to the channel . I am using Roku to stream Spectrum TV. I am using an LG Smart TV with a Tablo for local channels.
Since the Roku remote has no numeric keypad, the only option would be if the channel provider builds a virtual keypad into their channel. So that's something Spectrum would need to do. I'm not aware of any channel provider having such a keypad. Pluto TV would be another channel that would benefit from such a keypad as well.
Using the official Roku mobile Remote App available in the Play/Apple Store, there is keyboard feature available that allows you to jump around by typing in the channel number from within the Roku Channel LiveTV (takes a second or two to respond and you have to type in a valid channel number).
Perhaps it may work within the Spectrum Channel/app also.
Does not seem to work within the Channels like Pluto and Xumo that I have tried, so I think may only work with Roku Channel LiveTV, but maybe worth a shot.
I prefer RoMote (open source by William Seeman) to the official Roku Remote App so maybe try that one as well.
That would be functionality from within the apps you're using. That means that to quickly go to a different channel within the Spectrum app, that would be determined by Spectrum.
I don't have and have never used Spectrum, so I can't speak to that. I've used Xfinity's app in the past, and know that they do have channel numbers, and users can easily open an on-screen form to enter a channel number. So, I know it's possible to have something like that, as I've used something like that, but if Spectrum has it, I don't know.
Your best bet would be to get the information from Spectrum, as they built the app. Others here may have used the app (I suspect many have) and may be able to offer guidance on the functionality Spectrum built into the app.
To jump to the previous channel while using the Spectrum app on a Roku device press the "<<" button. It works most of the time but it is buggy and will crash on occasion.
I have the Xfinity Stream on Roku. Once I select this, the next screen lists "Live TV", "Saved", "Browse", "Search", and "Settings".
Select "Search". Enter the channel #. Then move the arrow over to the right where the channel information is shown and hit enter.
When on a channel, hit the back button to get back to the results. Remove the #s from the last search and it will show all of the previous channels for easy access.
