scrolling live channels on ROKU Express - how

when you were using the live TV channel guide, how do you get back to the beginning? 
There must be a shortcut. There are 100s of channels to scroll through
and if you are on channel 500 and you want to go all the way back to one
there has got to be a shortcut versus scrolling all the way back.

or ....isn't there a way??

I too hate the remote!  Why can’t there be numbers like a normal remote so that we can go directly to the channel we want?

@mangurian1 and @HatesRemote 

When watching Roku Channel Live TV (linear streaming channels) go into the guide...

If you have a Roku Voice Remote, you can just say the channel number or the channel name.

Otherwise, you can "page up"/"page down" by using the FF and Rewind buttons.  If you long press/hold down the FF and Rewind button, you can zip through/continuous scroll the channels very quickly. (you need to be in the channel number column to perform both these, not the program info column of the guide).

If you just want to go back to the last channel/previous channel, use the "instant replay" button (the arrow button that looks like it is making a u-turn).

If using the Roku mobile app, you can also use the Voice option mentioned above, or use the keyboard feature and type in the channel number.
