I found an easy way to change channel to specific number. I have an iPhone it might work on android.
1. Get Roku app
2. Connect app to tv so remote is enabled
3. press the microphone icon and say “change channel to 45”
ps: if you say change to tnt it will open the tnt app so you need to say the number.

Actually, you can just say: "channel #" to switch OTA channels in Live TV. This even works for subchannels e.g.: "channel 10 point 2". (using the Android app - assuming it works the same in the iOS app).
Unfortunately, this does not seem to work for the streaming channels now listed after the OTA channels in the latest update of the TV (TCL) app - it just switches to the nearest available OTA channel. Maybe there is a secret magic phrase, but I haven't figured it out yet.
I tried that and it didn't take me to the channel I wanted. It actually acted like it didn't exist. Popped up all other things for me to choose from, but none was the one I wanted.
