You now have to delete every single channel you don't want to see appear in whatever they have done to screw up the channel guide. It no longer defaults to "Favorites," no longer changes channels in order of "Recents" or "Favorites." Most companies improve "user friendliness" ROKU is making it worse.
Hi thunderJ,
Thank you for posting here in the Roku Community!
We will be more than happy to take a closer look into this issue that you're experiencing. Could you send us a photo or video of your running problem? May we know what the software version of your Roku device or TV is by going to settings, system, and about?
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
John
I completely agree with the original poster. The channel guide used to remember our last-used category - it no longer does. If we last used "Favorites", it would always open on the program we were watching, in "Favorites". If it was "Recents", it would open in "Recents", etc.
Instead, it now always opens in "All channels" - regardless of the category we had previously selected.

The most perplexingly inane thing about this unwelcome change is that, logically, it completely invalidates the very purpose of having "Favorites" in the first place (favorites being a very welcome, useful, almost necessary feature).
Please, Roku - think about that;
As it now stands, it takes a minimum of 6 clicks to select a program from "Favorites", where it used to take only one or two.
Six clicks! 🤨 (Seven, if you want any program info to show)
So "Favorites" is now a completely useless, invalid category, as the entire reason behind it is to have quick and easy access to our favorite programs - which is sooo obviously no longer the case. Umm... duh? 🙄
For Pete's sake - please fix it.

I have already been through that with your CS. First, I was told there would be a software update to correct it. If there was an update it didn't correct it. The next conversation I had with CS telling them the software update did nothing I was told there was nothing that could be done about it. This issue is on all 3 of my ROKU TV's

It is weird. So much work to try and figure this crazy system out. Going to favorite list and then clicking down doesnt stay in favorites. Weird. And the a.list of add to faves is different than hide list. Lol why is this so difficult. I go to favorites and start clicjing down and it has othwr non favorites. This is bad. Need a way to get rid of all Spanish speaking channels at once. Thisbtakes forever.
