how to change channels on antenna live tv

How do I change channels for antenna live tv without scrolling through the channels on the guide? I want to directly input the channel number for my HDTV antenna channels (local channels). However, neither the remote nor the mobil app have number to press for input.

You answered your own question. You can customize the guide. The Roku remote has no channel numbers so you cannot enter any number

Thank you for your reply, however, I did not answer my own question. I know how to hide channels thus customizing the guide. Your second sentence is what I am addressing: being able to input number to directly to a channel. Perhaps Roku will customize the remote to benefit it customers. Have a good weekend!

There are third party remotes, so I understand, that include keyboards or number pads. @Tivoburkee may be able to point you to some. He doesn't sell them, but he's the go-to guy for deep dives into remote functions, such as how well such devices work.

Others may be able to offer some suggestions as well, but he's top of the list.
