Horrible Accessibility for those with sight issues
Accessibility for those with sight issues is horrible. Yes, I've made the UI as big as possible. Yes, I know I can turn on zoom mode by pressing 5 multiple times until its big enough.
The problem? It doesn't persist through power off and on cycles. You also can't use the numbers to pick a channel that way, you're limited to up and down. The box starts on the Home Screen instead of straight into Live TV so you have to try and navigate the horribly tiny UI.
Why there aren't separate zoom levels for different parts of the UI I have no idea. If I just want to use it as a TV box then all I need is zoom for the channel name and current program. I should be able to have it start straight into Live TV. I should be able to have that as large as I want and still be able to type number 103 in to get to that channel.
It's the end of 2026 and the Stream box does not have basic accessibility for those with bad eyesight.

If you know the channel number use Voice Control.
