Well it's been 3 weeks now without a peep or squawk from an actual Roku employee as to whether their intentions are to fix the missing channel numbers or leave their "test" as is. Seeing forum moderators chime in with their occasional lips to ass and half apologetic replies is not the kind of response that is needed here.
After spending 5 minutes or longer each time I want to change to a specific station on the roku device, I couldn't be more pissed off every time I do it.
The channel guide is a total joke. Every time I click the left arrow on the directional pad to bring up the guide it goes back to the all channels category. That's fine, that's the way it has always worked. What is not fine is that the morons in control of the roku seem to find it amusing to reorder the stations in the all channels category in the guide each time I f'n open it. Not to mention how f'd it is to find a station in the guide without the numbers on them.
No Joke. I'm about ready to take it outside and beat it with a sledgehammer and buy a competitors system since Christmas is almost here.
On the other hand, there's also nothing on the roku that I can't open from my PC and view on a tv monitor with an hdmi or rca jacks/ wifi and DLNA media server anyway.
That was the main reason I got a roku to start with was the ease of use to view some select content. Well with that easiness gone, I could just as easy (since they want to make it difficult as they can make it) go back to the PC to where I know everything is where I put it. And to have total control with IP blockers a vpn and no adds just like I did before since their main goal apparently is to make it as difficult as they can on me to use their system with them removing the most simplistic useful feature. The channel numbers.
