Yes, you can control Roku channels with a lot of flexibility but I haven't been able to do that with CableTV channels via Roku.- Launch the downloaded Comcast/Xfinity cable TV App on Roku.
- Launch the Xfinity Program Guide in grid view.
Here's where it gets really combersome.
There are no numeric keys on the Roku remote so you can't simply input a channel number and jump to it. There are no Channel UP/Down buttons either. You have to launch the gird view program guide (which exits the show you're currently watching) then scroll through the channel lineup in grid view then press OK on the remote to change channel. This is sort of OK if your desired channel is adjacent to the one you're presently watching but often they are not. You have scroll through several grid view screens to the desired channel then press OK on the Roku remote.
In other words there are no quick ways to switch channels using the Roku remote within the Comcast/Xfinity cable TV App on Roku.
Similarly, voice commands via the Roku remote will not control channels within the Comcast/Xfinity cable TV App. You cannot speak the channel you want.
The current plan: Keep two CableTV boxes and Remotes. One in the main family room on the 55" TV. The other will be in the master bedroom. These are the ones that my wife uses most often. The other 3 TV's will get Roku boxes or sticks.
