How to Switch TV Input on Roku TV

How do I go from Roku TV back to my original cable box TV programming. I had to disconnect my internet to do it. Is there some button or other to do that?

  • Yes, on the TV remote, there should be a button with a label like Input or Source.  Possibly some TVs have it on a menu. The Roku doesn't change this - it's the same button you use to get to the cable box, the blu-ray/DVD player, etc.

    If you can't find it, try looking up a manual for it, or give us the manufacturer and model number of the TV and someone here may be able to find one.

    Is this a Roku TV, or do you have a Roku player connected to a different brand of TV? If it's a Roku TV, the remote does not have an input button. You have to select a different input on the home screen.

  • Problem solved. Disconnected the Comcast cable from cable box to tv and using the HDMI output on the cable box. (never knew it was there) Now I can select from home menu. Thanks for all the help.
