You bought a streaming TV. If does not have channel numbers. You should have bought a normal tv then a Roku device. A Roku TV is designed for streaming and cord cutters
LOL... Screw you! I simply asked if there was a way to be able to change channels without scrolling. If you're going to be a **bleep** don't respond!
I’m with you! Going from channel say 535 to my antenna channels takes awhile! I was hoping there’d be an actual answer on here!!
AND one other note! I don't buy a TV and research the remote as part of my buying experience!

When my parents were in their 80's they bought a TV without paying any attention to the remote. What they got was an "air mouse" remote. Ie: you waved it in the air and that caused the movement of a cursor on the screen and then you clicked the only button. But the system was super-sensitive – every little tremble in an 80+ year old arm would send the cursor 4 inches, and the UI consisted of little half-inch targets that you had to hit! They'd invite me over just to change channels or inputs! :smileyhappy: (And even I found it a struggle.)
You HAVE to spend quality time checking out the remote when buying a TV (unless you plan to integrate it into a system where the TV remote won't be used at all – then you have to make sure you have compatible control codes.)
If over the air TV is important to you, you might prefer a generic TV (the "dumber" the better in my opinion) with one or more devices such as Rokus attached.
StregaGood reply. The thing people see first is price. A TCL Roku TV or an ONN Roku TV (entry level) can be purchased for $100-300. That’s all people see. What they don’t understand is the term “Roku”. I bought a 32” 1080p TCL Roku TV for my master bedroom. It was only $200. Hard to beat that price. But it’s perfect. I watch my YouTube TV and other channels. But in my living room I have a 65” 4K HDR TCL Roku TV.
A TCL Roku TV or other manufacturers are designed for streaming. Says so on the box. There are no channel numbers on the remote cause it’s not how it works. And yes you always do your research before buying something. Especially a TV. So you want a remote with numbers correct
So WHAT if it says streaming TV... !!!! You're just replying to be a KNOW IT ALL Jack ass! I bet I'm the ONLY one who was side blinded with something like this... Wrong! Go invade someone else's space with your arrogance.
seriously be nice if you are going to respond
Good answer. So, I'll never buy another Roku TV again!
It's a disaster for my 94 year old father!
Many tv brands aren't including number keys on their remote anymore, Samsung and Sony included.
Even though the Roku tv remote doesn't have number keys, it doesn't mean the Roku Tv won't respond to them if you purchase aftermarket universal remote like Onn 6 from Walmart:
onn. R113663 6-Device Universal Remote - Walmart.com
Using tv code 4398 will you give you access to numeral keys 0-9.
So simple? Thank you so much!
