Roku only powers on to home screen (as opposed to specific input designated)

I would like my TCL Roku TV (55P605) to start on a specific input or the last input, but no matter what I choose within the system menu, it always starts on the home screen. I am unsure what to do to...

Hi rg2121,

A warm welcome here in the Roku Community!

We're glad to assist you with your inquiry about changing inputs on your TCL Roku TV. Please be advised that since this is a Roku TV, the home operating system will be Roku, so the home screen will always start on Roku. If in any case you want to change input, you should see a list of inputs on the side of your home screen depending on what is plugged in on the back of your TV (HDMI 1, HDMI 2, DVD, etc.). You can also try these steps to change the input:

  1. Press Home on your Roku TV remote.
  2. Scroll and select Settings.
  3. Select TV inputs.
  4. Select which input you want to switch it to.

If there's anything else that we can assist with, please keep us posted.
All the best
Eunice

RokuEuniceL rg2121  I have an elderly friend who has a TCL Roku TV that I set to always come on to the HDMI input for his cable box.  Works great.  TCL Roku TV is about two years old.  You can go into settings> system> power and set TV to come on to Home Screen, last used input, or a specific HDMI input.  I just check on my TCL Roku TV and setting is still there.
