Remotes

[frmrdepchief]

Is there a remote that will allow me  change channels by directly entering the channel number when watching the DirecTv app?  My [Samsung] tv remote will perform all Roku remfunctions, except Home, but not channel input

Sorry but no. You're wanting to change channels on Directv app using Samsung tv? What does this have to do with Roku? Anyways you can't do it on any Roku either. The numerical commands 0-9 are available on Roku tv's and stand-alone Roku streamers, but the app maker Directv, doesn't use them.

Ok. Thanks

i have a Samsung TV. The Samsung DirecTV app doesn’t work. SdirecTV techs told it’s a known problem and I could get a Roku streamer and use the DirecTV app on it, which works fine. The alternative is 1) argue with Samsung or 2) buy a different brand TV.

Thus the question here
