Remotes

[RedSoxPhan]

find a specific channel with voice commands?

so I have Directv, Hulu, and Sling.  I just purchased the $30 voice remote Pro.  My problem is if I ask Roku to play ESPN for example, It tells me to download the app.  I have ESPN in 2 of the 3 above stream companies. 

is there a way to setup the remote so I can say “Hey Roku, play ESPN on Directv.”  My result is the above.  It brings me out of the Directv app to the main Home Screen and it Tells me I need to download ESPN app.  My purpose of buying this remote was to be able to change channels without using the remote (which in my opinion is sub par).  I also tried the same command for Hulu and Sling to no avail.

any help would be appreciated as I can’t find anyone asking my question(s) anywhere on the web.
