How do you navigate Hulu Live TV with the Roku Ultra remote?

None of the typical functions of navigating various app platforms work with the Roku Ultra remote.  Its beyond confusing.  Any help would be greatly appreciated......

  • My main issue now (have "my stuff" set up now) is how to use what arrows on the remote to navigate quickly through Hulu.  I.e., haven't found a way to do to a previous channel without having to go back to the either "recent" of "my stuff" to return to the previous channe.  TY for your response to date.

  • Hi psdavies,

    Thank you for keeping us posted here in the Roku Community!

    We appreciate your interest in finding out about navigating Hulu more quickly on your Roku remote. Since you are using a remote that is capable of voice commands, you can use this feature to search for and control your Roku streaming device without having to go back to a recent, home, or previous channel.

    Your Roku voice remote has a voice button with either a microphone icon (on newer remotes) or a magnifying glass icon (on older remotes). To issue a push-to-talk voice command, simply press and hold the voice button and say a command like "search for comedies," "turn it up," or "launch The Roku Channel." As soon as you release the button, your streaming device will carry out your request and deliver you to the Roku Search screen or elsewhere within the Roku interface. For best results, try speaking in a conversational tone at normal volume. There is no reason to speak any slower or louder than normal or to overpronounce syllables or words.

    We hope this suggestion is helpful, so please let us know if you have further queries, and we'll be glad to assist you.

    Sincerely,
    Eunice

    Hi psdavies,

    Welcome, and thanks for sharing your reports here in the Roku Community!

    We'd like to be of assistance here and see what's going on when accessing Hulu Live TV. 

    Could you tell us more about this? Are you able to receive a response from the remote when navigating to on-demand shows on the Hulu platform? Are you able to access this before?

    Please keep us posted!

    Thanks,
    Rey
