Missing channel numbers on Roku channel guide

Not sure what I did or Roku did, but I no longer have the channel 'numbers' on the Roku guide.  For example, the NFL channel used to show 211 included with the logo.  Each channel had a number associated with it making it easier to scan/scroll through my favorites to get to what I was looking for without reading each logo.

    I very strongly agree with those who find the removal of the channel numbers absurd and absolutely user-unfriendly. A completely bad idea to remove the numbers, to be replaced with little logos and squiggles one can barely read, and give you no idea where you are in the list. Roku, are you listening? We want the NUMBERS BACK!!!  ASAP!

     

    thanks,

    disgruntled Roku user

  • Roku needs to add a option for channel numbers.

    It would give everyone the option. 

    I did find if I use phone I enter the number as a temp fix.

      Apparently Roku decided to improve their service by removing the channel numbers.

      I know. It makes no sense.

      A nut at Roku did think we need channel numbers like all other TV guides have.

      That person probably steams on paid TV or does not watch TV

       

      Some may need to start Facebook page Roku put numbers back. 

      Now there are 6 pages of complaints and grown. 

  • How can I get the channel numbers to show on my guide on the Roku channel?

      You’ll need to go to the chat section on Roku site. They took away the numbers and apparently are refusing to reinstate them. It’s annoying. Also, unless another user can help, I don’t see any way to change channels in favorites without going all the way back to the left to “favorites” and starting all over.  Not sure why they are so willing to make all their subscribers/members angry enough to dump Roku
