EPG template
Hi,
I'm looking to develop a Roku channel for a linear TV broadcaster and part of the requirement is for an EPG grid so viewers can see what's coming up next and plan their viewing.
There doesn't seem to be a facility for this in the BrightScript templates provided - the closest thing might be a roParagraphScreen displaying Now / Next info, which is OK for figuring out what the viewer has just switched on, but not great for planning.
Is full EPG grid templating something that's planned for a (hopefully near) future Roku release ?

Re: EPG template
I wouldn't say planned, but there is some discussion about creating something like this.
Meanwhile, you could probably create your own slick EPG with roScreen and the 2D api's.

Re: EPG template
Not at the moment. Again, anyone who wants one could create one with the 2D API components, or you could adapt a gridscreen to this purpose.
