When watching LiveTV, pressing the down arrow historically brought up the progress bar with a stop button. As of about a day ago, the Roku (Ultra in this case) seems to be “eating” the keystroke and ignoring it. The activity indicator on the Ultra does flash, so I know it’s getting the button press. For years, to stop play back, I’d press down, press right enough to get to the stop button, then enter.

Yes, I’ve rebooted the Roku, as well as set it to update. No change in behavior.

Thanks for the report. We have filed the issue and will investigate.

I’m not using a Roku Ultra, but I am using a Roku Pro TV and I am not seeing this issue using the same build.

I press the down arrow I do see the complete Progress Bar, Subtitle, Options Menu (…) etc. If I press the down arrow again, I get my list of recent channels.

As usual, pressing the down arrow button only works after the channel has been playing for several seconds.
