HDMI inputs no longer on home screen of Roku TV

  • On my Roku Plus Series 4K TV, the HDMI inputs have disappeared from the home screen. My apps are the only options that show on the home screen. I can only access the HDMI inputs by going to: Settings and then TV picture settings and then selecting the input I want to use.  The inputs that have disappeared all show as in use when navigating to Settings followed by TV inputs menu. I have restarted Roku and unplugged and plugged in again all the HDMI inputs (Chromecast, DVD player and an HDMI cable).

    Hi Kandi2230,

    It is great to have you here in the Roku Community!

    We appreciate you reporting the problem to us about the behavior you've encountered with your Roku device.

    The HDMI mode can be configured independently for each HDMI input on a 4K or 4K HDR Roku TV to match the capabilities of each device.

    1. Press the Home button on the Roku remote on your Roku TV remote to go to the main screen.
    2. Scroll and select Settings.
    3. Select TV inputs.
    4. Choose the device or the HDMI input under Inputs being used. If the HDMI input is not used, choose Set up input and add it to your home screen.

    Visit our Support article for additional information about how to configure the HDMI mode.

    We hope you'll find this information helpful. Let us know if there's anything else we can do to assist you.

    Thanks,

      Looks like the HDMI inputs aren’t showing up on your Roku TV screen anymore. Let’s try to fix that.

      Here are some steps to follow:

      • Switch the HDMI cable to a different port on your Roku TV (for example, plug it from HDMI 2 into HDMI 1 or 3).
      • Check and re-plug the cables at the back of the TV to ensure they’re seated properly.
      • Restart the Roku TV by going to Settings > System > Power > System restart.

      For more information, visit our support article on configuring the HDMI mode on your Roku TV system.

      Hope these steps help!

      Same problem as reported by the other users. For a while only 1 or 2 inputs were showing on the menu and now none of them show up. Nothing has changed on the input sources only changes were ROKU upgrades. please fix this.
