Hi @NiLa,

Welcome, and thanks for posting to the Roku Community!

We understand you are having trouble with the font size of the channels on your Roku home menu screen.

Have you tried to restart your Roku device to see if it helps? If none, we suggest navigating this to Settings > System > Power > System restart (if you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step).

Please let us know what you find out.

All the best,
Chel

Thanks for the welcome.

There's no Caption Style in Accessibility.

Please advise. My eyes aren't coping.

I know how to make the captions larger, but I'm having trouble reading the descriptions & sometimes titles of shows. The font Roku menu screens are too small as well.

I am having the same problem. I cannot read the names/dates/seasons/etc. without squinting or moving way too close to the TV. (Captions aren’t the issue.)

Your solution doesnt address the problem.  Specifically the text size is too small in the channel guide, not captions. I too have problems reading the channel guide.  I am getting my content on local antenna tv. I have no access to cable and don't want satellite. 

Let me know if the text size on channel guide can be fixed. 

Thanks Ron Brown
