Remote use and selecting channels

Jump to solution

Will Roku ever offer a remote with numbers to make it easier to select channels.  Now you have to scroll through all the channels to find the one you want to view.  This takes time and is annoying.  Even with channels added to the favorites you still have to scroll through to find the right one.

Welcome to the Roku Community, @451!

Thank you for joining us here. We appreciate your suggestion. 

Currently, the number keypad is not available on physical Roku remotes. However, Roku remotes are built for faster navigation using the voice command feature of it. 

Nevertheless, rest assured that your feedback and suggestions will be forwarded to the team, as we always aim for your convenience and satisfaction. 

In the meantime, we hope you have a Happy Streaming! 💜

Best regards,
Carly

The pain of channel selection is a problem for users with disabilities. A remote with a scroll wheel (up down, left right) with one select by click  would be really helpful if we cannot enter channels. Surely you can do that.  Not everyone can easily apply the pressure needed to click, click click or hold down a button hard to a spot.   Not everyone can or wants to use voice command. Please do this for your customers. .
