Hi Roku! Love the new 2nd Edition of the Voice Remote Pro! Backlit, Finally! (welcome to the Party!) The GUIDE button is cool, but useless to me so far. Here's what it needs: have it open like the Rocket Launcher button and allow the user to program it to the app of their choice. Guess what they're gonna choose? I'll tell you: YouTube TV, Hulu TV, Plex, HD Homerun, or whichever app they used to watch Live Local TV on a traditional TV Guide grid. These are customers who pay a premium price for their (True) Live TV, or who have gone to a lot of trouble to install an antenna and set up something like Tablo or HD Homerun with Plex so they can enjoy True OTA TV without a monthly subscription. I will not be plugging a coax cable into my TV like my parents did in the 1970's to make the GUIDE button relevant, so that will not be the solution.
This is my suggestion: please make the GUIDE button relevant by making it work (like the Rocket Launcher button does) to allow the customer to choose the app of their choice.
