    Changing channels on a ROKU smart TV in “Live TV”

    Hisense 50” ROKU TV, I like going to “LIve TV” and seeing whats playing. Is there a better way to move channels in “Live TV” than moving up and down all the channels, one at a time. There is no numeric buttons on the ROKU remote. Searching for ex. 557, does not find channel 557.

    Sharing to make hotspot: question

    Hi, I am still relatively new to using this $$ iMac I bought. I keep it at Mom's house and only get to use it a short time every month, still learning. We had a terrible storm--the lightning hit and fried our phone lines. Got those fixed yesterday only to discover that our Windstream DSL...
