Saving the guide settings saves to the device associated with the current Activity. It can be a bit confusing and is simpler in 1.5. Meanwhile, just make sure that you first open the Activity which has the target channel device set in the 'Opens Remote' field. Then setup the guide for that device and Save.

The guide that is displayed during the time when *no* Activity is open or Roomie has just been launched fresh is for the first channel changing capable device in your device list.

This is clarified in a future release. For the 1.5.X series, just make sure you have (1) opened an Activity, and (2) that Activity has a device capable of channel changes set as its 'Opens Remote' device, and (3) given 1 and 2, then edit the guide settings.

Just being in a room will not configure the guide for a specific device.

That means it's not connected to the correct device per step 2 above.

Support can look at your configuration to tell you which step still needs to be performed.
