Channel Issues & Questions

[LarryFr]

I signed up for a free trial of the BFI (British Film Institute) Player Classics channel. There appears to be no way to search for a movie except by scrolling through the various categories.

The options (*) button does nothing (nothing happens if you press it).

Unlike the regular Roku Channel, there is no Search icon or function in the list of movies.

I thought that a movie ("That Sinking Feeling") was available on the BFI channel, but eventually gave up looking (without a Search function). Now I see it's only available on the UK version of the BFI channel.

Anyway, you need to add a Search option.

Thanks for the note.

For more information about that channel's features and functionality, you'll want to contact BFI Player Classics support directly to inquire further. Many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel provider themselves. 

Thanks,
Danny

Where might BFI Player Classics support be? All I can find is BFI Player Classics on the Roku site and a BFI Player site in the United Kingdom. 

If BFI Player Classics support exists, please provide the link.

Hoping the BFI updates this soon.  I would like to search for certain titles

It looks like theres two apps, one is on the Roku channel that has no search and is rubbish - which I appear to have accidentally fallen upon. There is also a direct one BFI Classics which I think you access with a separate account direct with BFI that is much more user friendly. I’m cancelling the ROKU one and switching, they are same $
