Change Default Channel on Powering On

Hi.  I accidentally did something to the settings and now when the Roku powers on, it automatically goes to a news channel, channel 7 to be exact.   Can’t seem for the life of me, to get the power on...

While watching a normal tv channel (not looking at the Home Screen), press the “back” arrow at the top left of the remote. This should bring up a menu that offers choices of Live TV, Guide, MyLibrary, On Demand. While looking at this menu, use the down arrow on remote to select the gear wheel in the lower left hand corner of the tv screen. This opens another settings menu. The preferences menu here allows you to turn off, or change the startup channel.

Hope this helps
