I'm surprised I don't see other similar requests, but it would be a big help if the Roku remote was able to switch inputs on my TV. When I'm done watching streaming channels and want to switch back to cable, I have to either use my tv remote or just use a third party replacement remote.
Thanks.
Technically not easy unless Roku also sold an add on switcher box integrated to streamer/remote.
Some TV's handle the "back to previous source" shift better than others.
Disagree. All it needs to do is incorporate a learning function (remote to remote) for the 1 & 2 buttons. Cheap third party Roku replacement remotes have that feature, and that's what I'm forced to use if I don't want to use two different remotes (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N1GL5YV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Yes, that could work too, but not as reliable and needs end user setup.
Some more text to make the response 140 characters, and some more
The Xfinity Flex remote has a button that controls the TV input. It worked just fine with an old Panasonic plasma TV with a very simple on-screen setup. And the remote is no bigger than the Roku remote.
Tivo stream 4k does it.... voice remote has a dedicated button for it. use it ALOT.
seems as simple as a tv power button (doesnt select input, just cycles thru them)
