@RokuJohnB OK, I submitted a list of issues, over SIX MONTHS AGO, and nothing has changed, and no word on when fixes might be made...
Roku does not care
we just had to get a new roku stick because the old one stopped working. then i notice that day... this new live tv guide with NO channel numbers????? just a mess of channels listed in no particular order. absolutely ruins the user experience. fire the devs and engineers who think this is a good idea. this makes the Roku Live TV browsing experience 100x worse than nonsense like Amazon Prime or HBO Max, because i KNOW certain channels exist on Roku Live... but i just can't find them now...
In the Roku Live channel guide, move to the left over the channel logo. Press the asterick (*) button on your Roku remote. Select "Sort Channel List". Then select "By Channel Number".
