LollerAgent Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I use Hulu Live with a Roku Ultra. Is there anyway to program the Roku to turn on, select Live TV and then select a specific channel? I'm trying to tune to a specific channel as part of my "Good morning" routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - it's sort of janky. I'm trying to make it work, but it's hit or miss. I really wish Hulu supported this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish Hulu supported this. I moved to Hulu maybe 4-6 weeks ago. My wife is not thrilled with their live TV Guide (compared to normal Fios/Cable) or the inability to directly select a channel via traditional # inputs. That said I found this article from January showing they hired someone from TiVO and they are revamping the Guide, so maybe more ability to go directly to a channel or do a "previous" button etc are not all that far off? https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/hulu-live-tv-guide-1203105083/ Hulu’s embrace of this more traditional interface isn’t just indicative of the company’s efforts to establish itself as an alternative to traditional cable TV. It also makes sense from a product leadership perspective, given that the company recently hired former TiVo executive Jim Denney as its new vice president of product.

0 LollerAgent Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Yeah - I read the same article and can't wait until that is available. We are coming from Dish Network, so it's taking a bit of getting used to as well. The ability to use traditional channel/up buttons and have a real guide will be very helpful.

Question
LollerAgent
I use Hulu Live with a Roku Ultra. Is there anyway to program the Roku to turn on, select Live TV and then select a specific channel? I'm trying to tune to a specific channel as part of my "Good morning" routine.
