Bouncing back and forth between two channels.

I would like to be able to watch two football [soccer] games at the same time, or at least bounce back and forth between the two of them. My XFinity remote has a "back" option. Roku doesn't seem to have one.

Thanks.

Re: Bouncing back and forth between two channels.

What channel/app are you using or is this on live OTA TV?  Channels/apps would have to implement that themselves and some have using the Replay button.  I don't know about live OTA TV, but it used to be possible.

Re: Bouncing back and forth between two channels.

This is a nice feature. Most cable and satellite providers have this. 
Better example is I'm watching a car building show.  My wife hates watching those shows.  So we switch to a show we both like.  She gets up to do something else and I just hit the "back" button.  This button is on our DirectTv.  This back button goes right back to where I quit watching in my car building show.

Also there is an option with most cable/sat providers to do PIP.  This is handy for my wife because she is a football nut and likes to flip back and forth between games and watch several at the same time. 

As a software developer this really wouldn't be that hard to implement doing a back button to the last location you were at in the system. It would take very little memory and be a very handy thing for a lot of people.
