I've tried using the following workaround, but this doesn't appear to work except for on my newest Roku running firmware 5+.


Function forceExitChannel() As Dynamic

	ipaddrs = CreateObject("roDeviceInfo").GetIPAddrs()
	if ipaddrs.eth0 <> invalid then
	   ipaddr = ipaddrs.eth0
	end if
	if ipaddrs.eth1 <> invalid then
	   ipaddr = ipaddrs.eth1
	end if
	xfer = CreateObject("roURLTransfer")
	url = "http://"+ipaddr+":8060/keypress/Home"
	xfer.SetUrl(url)
	xfer.PostFromString("")
	
End Function


Any other suggestions?
