Bought to replace cable but having to go from one channel to another to watch TV has become to be not worth it.

I start this by saying that this unit replaces a discontinued cable TV service that was the model of thoroughness and simplicity. I miss it dearly. I chose Roku because I have an existing Roku on a different television that I am accustomed to and enjoy. It is a 4200X with a lot of time and miles on it. Roku is easy to set up, which I appreciate. Unlike my older 4200, this one seems to glitch out occasionally, not showing the proper screen(s), or not responding to commands. The remote buttons are quite stiff and even a bit annoying. It is a bit hard to separate the Roku characteristics from the Direct TV Stream service that I access through it. Direct TV Stream is quite quirky and often annoying. I may switch to a different service, which is one of the great features about this Roku in that it is ready and able to access to many different service choices.
This was a gift, but I miss local channels. Not all my favorites, but good programs.
