Roku Adds 'Last Channel' Button for Easy Switching
31 Mar
Summary
- Roku's Live TV experience now features a 'last channel' button.
- The new button allows instant switching to the previously viewed channel.
- This update streamlines browsing for antenna and live stream channels.
Roku TV users can now enjoy a more streamlined Live TV experience thanks to a recent update. The Live Guide now includes a 'last channel' button, allowing for instant switching to the previously viewed channel.
This new functionality replaces the old 'jump back' button's rewind capability, simplifying channel hopping for both over-the-air antenna users and live stream viewers. It mimics a familiar feature from traditional cable TV, making free broadcast TV more convenient.
The update is rolling out automatically to supported Roku devices. It enhances the Live Guide, which recently added a dedicated search section to better navigate its extensive collection of free, ad-supported live channels.
