The only 2 apps I have had good success with are the YTTV and DirecTV apps. The other apps have been a mixed bag. Roku Deeplinks are hard to figure out on many apps and keystroke tuning has many built in hurdles by the app developers.
In my experience, the Roku DirecTV app tunes faster than when I was using ADBTuner with my Walmart Onn 4k boxes. I dropped YTTV before you launched Roku Tuner Bridge. So, I haven't had an opportunity to test that service.
I did manage to get several Paramount Plus channels working fairly well. Though, I have recently let go of that service provider.
I have also gotten the Peacock app to open. But, I have not been able to get a channel tuned. I'll keep fiddlin' with that one a little longer.

Hi @Bobby_Vaughn ! I see that this conversation thread has been closed and now re-opened. Can you please provide an update regarding the current status and future development and/or support of Roku Tuner Bridge?
Personally, RTB, on a basic level, is working very well for bringing my non-TVE DirecTV channels into my DVR. There are a few refinements or additions I hope to see which could make it easier to use.
Honestly, I have been working on a Learning Management System for my grandkids over the last few months and have not even thought about the Roku Bridge. I have been using it on my setup and haven't had to touch it. If you give a list of update/changes you would like to see in the Roku Bridge, I will work on adding them during the next release. With all the cool work being done with FruitDeepLinks and ADBTuner lately, it has pretty much made the need for another option obsolete. The Roku system is so very limited in what the ECP can do compared to ADB. I will updating it as soon as I get some extra time though.
Yeah. That's where I have been with it. It just works without any fiddling around. I totally get that priorities change, and I appreciate that you dedicate your time to grandkids. I would do exactly the same.
I had hoped for an easy way to import DTV channels all at once. Kinda' like what @bnhf did with ADBT and OliveTin/Project-one-click's " Create an ADBTuner DirecTV JSON and its Channel Lineup" action. I don't know if that's possible with Roku Tuner Bridge. If not, I already have all of my most important channels added.
I finally have ADBTuner working well enough to bump its priority ahead of Roku Tuner Bridge in my source line up. RTB is so solid that I'm happy to have it as a reliable back up to other methods.
I haven't tried the FruitDeepLinks project as it seems to be mostly targeting sports programming, which isn't my thing at all. I may look at it again to see if there's anything useful for a classic movie and TV series guy like me.
I really appreciate the effort you put into the RTB project. It just happened to come out right when I needed it most after switching to DTV.
Thanks! Now, go take care of those grandkids.
