Using ultra voice remote to go to a prior channel while watching spectrum

I replaced my Roku streaming stick with the ultra voice.  On the streaming stick remote while watching tv on spectrum I could hit the rewind button and go to the last channel I was watching.  This doesn’t work on the ultra voice remote.  Is there a way to enable this feature?

I noticed this too. It’s odd to lose capabilities when buying the latest tech from the same company

As far as I know, Roku has never had any documented “previous channel” feature, however, some apps that contain channels within themselves have come up with some button that works within their apps.  As such, I think you would need to contact Spectrum for any news about this.

Really? On all of my other Roku remotes, which are not ultra, all you have to do is push the rewind button, while watching TV, like on the spectrum app, and it goes back to the previous channel you were watching.

Well, I don't recall seeing rewind do anything but rewinding.  But I'm likely not using all the same apps that you use.
