I was wondering if there is any way to change the preset channel/app buttons to go to other channels/apps?

I have an older remote and Google play is no longer am app viable in Roku. Is there a way to change that button as it is no longer useful at all? When I click nothing come up as the app has been discontinued. RokuJechealR

Please be advised that you can't reprogram Roku's quick shortcut buttons, but thank you so much for your input and we value your ideas. To find out when there will be updates, we advise you to periodically read the support blog that RokuJechealR has supplied above.
If you need anything else, please let us know.

If the buttons are not programmable, but fixed, then why does the packaging not show what presets are inside? That is deceptive.
Hi Bipolarnutmeg,
Congrats on your first post in the Roku Community!
We understand that you want to know how to preset channel shortcut buttons. We can definitely assist with your inquiry.
First, can you please verify what type of remote are you using.?
Please be advised that you cannot re-program a channel button on any Roku remote that has a channel name printed on it but you can definitely arrange your home screen to your liking.
For full information on this, you can take a look at this link: How to move channels on your Roku® streaming device | Official Roku Support
However, if you have a Roku Voice Remote that has personal shortcuts. This button creates a personal shortcut and with the press of a single button, you can launch a popular streaming channel, open the Live TV guide, issue an often-used voice command, and more.
To learn more, read the detailed article about creating a personal shortcut button.
Hope you'll find this info useful. Let us know in case you've still got any questions.
Best regards,
Mary
Hello I seen you answered sometime with almost the same issue I have. I'm my case I used the Disney+ and Vudu buttons all the time but my voice remote stopped holding a charge. So I ordered a replacement and the replacement has HBO max and Apple TV instead. I do not have and will not be getting either service but I would like to be able to use the shortcuts without giving up the 1 and 2 special buttons that I already use. Is their any fix coming in the near future. I would not have bought the new remote so quickly if I know it got rid of my most used short cuts.
anciantknight, there's no fix. The buttons can't be changed and there's no way to know what buttons you'll get when you buy a remote.
Can they supply sticky labels so as to rename the bottom with the new channel assigned.
