Acorn TV on Roku: How do you SEARCH?

Hi, on re-reading this answer, are you saying that to search Acorn I actually need to search The Roku Channel? And there is no way to search within Acorn-on-Roku aside from scrolling through all 200 items?

    Greetings FootiePete,

    Welcome to the Roku Community and thanks for reaching out about this.

    For channel functionality, we would strongly recommend getting additional help from the channel support team. It's important to note that most of the channels on Roku are managed directly by the channel providers themselves. Roku only hosts the available channels on the platform.

    You can contact them here directly at Support : Acorn TV.

    Thanks,
    Rey

      I have selected the Roku Channel AcornTV Tile. I am on the AcornTV Channel. I  can ind no search option. When I try to go to the 'left' each category simply cycles around in a never-ending circle of program options. No 'side bar'. There use to be one or a search option at the top of the screen. Can you help?
