    Welcome, brk01​!

    Don't want to juggle multiple remotes when streaming on Roku? Let's try enabling 1-Touch Play instead and see if that helps.

    Here's how:

    1. Select Home on your Roku remote
    2. Press left on the directional pad and navigate to Settings
    3. Select System
    4. Select Control other devices
    5. Check 1-touch play if the box is unchecked
    6. Power cycle your Roku player

    After following the steps, try turning off the LG TV and pressing any buttons on the Roku remote to see if it automatically goes to the Roku Home screen.

    Let us know what you find!

    Hi - Thanks.  Tried it, but no luck.  Went right back to the LG OS.
