    I want to setup an IFFTTT routine that lets me change channels using Amazon Alexa.

    IF I say “Alexa watch the news”
    THEN “Change Channel to NBC”

    I can’t seem to get this to work.

    I’d love any help.

    I am using IFFTTT. Alexa will trigger the IFFTTT workflow, so I would say "Alexa trigger, watch nbc." Why wouldn't this work? The integration with TiVo is via IFFTT NOT alexa.

    It looks like the trigger and actions are there, so it should work. But TiVos discontinuing most of these services so I wouldn’t be surprised if they cut this off too

    I'm having the same problem. I can get the commands to work (such as Live TV, play, pause, etc) - I just am not able to get the channel triggering to work
