I just bought a new HD Homerun and am having the same issue as everyone else here. Any work on a fix?

I just bought a brand new device, and it plays fine on my phone, but only plays the first channel on my Roku. No guide, and no way to change channels. Not a good way to start off.

Its only 1 day after submission since statement of submission mentioned tomorrow... it usually takes 2-7 days after submission before one gets it. The changes that caused the issue didn't have reports of problems until 2-3 days after submission.

Re: Can't Change Channels on Roku - temporary fix

TEMPORARY FIX: for any Roku users that want to change the channel while waiting for the app update, this is how you do it. Open the ROKU MEDIA PLAYER app (it is preinstalled and probably at the bottom of your Roku app list). The Media Player app will automatically connect to the HDHomeRun. You can then use the Media Player app to view HDHomeRun content and also change channels on the HDHomeRun. The user interface for Media Player is archaic and terrible, but it does work.

I have 3 Roku Ultra devices (4800, 4802 and 4662). The HDHomeRun app does not allow me to change the channel on any of my Roku devices.

Good luck.

Same for me. Pressing the Right arrow button doesn't bring up the guide, it closes the app.

The fix will be nice...
