Auto-launch app?

Is there any way to have Roku automatically launch YouTube TV when I turn on my tv?

I will never be able to convince my wife to switch from cable to live streaming until the controlling device (Roku) supports startup in the live streaming app. Too many extra steps to get to the thing she watches most.

Lees, it's probably easier to get a new wife than to get Roku to make a change. :smileytongue:

    I see the question, but no reply by Roku.

    I share the concern...HOW DO I SET Youtube TV to automatically startup when I begin a viewing session. There should be a setting to choose your Default Startup App

    It has been answered. There is no way to have a Roku device auto-start on an app. A Roku TV can have a designated input (such as Live TV or one of the HDMI ports) but there's no way to have YouTube TV (or any other app) start automatically.
