    Hi NiLa,

    Welcome, and thanks for posting to the Roku Community!

    We understand you are having trouble with the font size of the channels on your Roku home menu screen.

    Have you tried to restart your Roku device to see if it helps? If none, we suggest navigating this to Settings > System > Power > System restart (if you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step).

    Please let us know what you find out.

    All the best,
    Chel

    Did you ever solve the issue? I have the same issue and have been unable to fix it.

      I know how to make the captions larger, but I'm having trouble reading the descriptions & sometimes titles of shows. The font Roku menu screens are too small as well.

        I am having the same problem. I cannot read the names/dates/seasons/etc. without squinting or moving way too close to the TV. (Captions aren’t the issue.)

      Your solution doesnt address the problem.  Specifically the text size is too small in the channel guide, not captions. I too have problems reading the channel guide.  I am getting my content on local antenna tv. I have no access to cable and don't want satellite. 

      Let me know if the text size on channel guide can be fixed. 

      Thanks Ron Brown

        Your question will NEVER get answered! The app like Prime and some others have the same issue! Roku can only change their caption sizes and menu sizes. Until the app owners ie: Prime, spectrum and others start listening and responding to this problem we are stuck not being able to read the title and especially the description. Our only solution is to get a bigger TV! WHICH SUCKS FOR THE USERS BUT IS A WIN WIN FOR THE TV COMPANIES! Maybe they are getting some " incentives" from Amazon, Spectrum and the others to not fix the problem! And yes i am a cynic!

      This only works for captions. Roku needs to make text size larger in menus. Stupidly, you can control the text size of captions within a program, but God forbid you make the text to get into the program seeable. And this is an issue across apps as well, so really, no streaming services are considering a large chunk of the global population.
