@cwcheeseDon't get me started with Google mail. I use it because I need an alternative to Yahoo Mail. Google mail makes you jump through hoops just to use their service. I'll leave it at that because I'll start ranting just as I did when Roku first started making those inane changes to a perfectly functional Live TV Channel Guide.
I have noticed when Roku TV (Hisense) is first turned on, Time & Guide is what it was when I turned it off. It takes a few channel changes before Time becomes current and Guide becomes current but Guide still never fills in information on some same local channels. I have tested the Guide fill-in by taking the TV off the internet and the Guide for local channels fills in completely and the channel switching seems to be quicker and less laggy.
For me with the Guide. Just give me All Channels or Favorites.
Roku employees! Time to update station logos for…
WTOG 44.1 Tampa Bay
Catchy TV 44.5 Tampa Bay
LX 49.3 Tampa Bay
Get TV 50.3 Tampa Bay
just fix the stuff that is broke like we said, we ARE the people that keep your product going! And please fix the issue with with live tv guide defaulting to catagories area, we dont want extra button pushes, stupid!
Agree, ...this has just getting so painful. One persons opinion here, but turn the tv on in the morning, should start at the same channel I left last night(ota for me...), .....and at the correct time (still a problem, (ota/streaming....?). One click left should show current channel, still showing in the background, but take me to my 'Favorite' guide list, a few clicks up or down for on alternative.... a double left click gets me to full 'live tv guide,...all, recent, and recommended, ,,,,last two..worthless(get rid of). If I'm then watching a show, one left click, back to my 'Fav. list', make a change if desired, ...or double click to 'all category', and search. Bonus would be.....make a * click,.....auto. change to previous channel, no guide junk, straight to previous channel ...done.
And why have a "Recents" category, when I don't find even the most recent stations I was watching, and do find several that I've never watched! As for the "Recommended", have no clue how their algorithms pick the shows they do, most have nothing in common with shows I may often watch.
And please, ROKU, why is so hard to simply print a monthly Master Channel List?? Really...
They have finally reached the level of utter madness. This week they removed the channel numbers from their streaming channels! Unbelievable but true. How could the head of this project have approved this?
They are definitely messing with their base and it will come back to bite them. 😠
None of this makes sense. It is almost like the system has been abandoned. It will not surprise me to come home and see nothing.
That is truly ridiculous. Nothing has changed on mine, possibly a beta test? I know they have been randomly testing new downgrades with various customers. Most of them purely bonkers....
- "categories" quick guide = useless
- putting all the inputs in to folder = useless
- search bar on home screen = useless
- removing numbers from streaming channels = again, useless
@Zonexero I hope I'm only one of the few unfortunate clients who is subjected to this inane experiment. I can take it!
Now I noticed they added channels and changed the order of their (previously numbered) streaming channels. Why? Why? Why?
It is not truly ridiculous to want something better. At this point, I would like something that just works and does not change on a daily or weekly event
