Bring back separate Tv inputs! TV inputs nested now

On the newest TCL Roku main menu update September, 2023 the tv inputs are now nested within their own menu icon. They is no option to set them as separate tiles again. Was it really hurting the company to allow users to pin an HDMI input at the top of their list without nesting it in a new menu?

I agree!

I hate the new "folder" for the TV Inputs.  Please revert it to the way it was before, separate pinned input tiles.

Another request to restore separate HDMI input selection directly on the home screen (not from a separate folder)!  This was an important feature for my family, and we'll be unlikely to buy another Roku TV if it's not restored.  Thanks for listening! 🙂

Re: Bring back separate Tv inputs! TV inputs nested now

When our gaming consoles were not under the nested menu, I was able to turn on a game without needing the remote. (A huge plus in a family where remotes frequently go missing.) With this new update, I can't.  

What's more, our remotes have stopped opening the items inside the nested menu (they work normally with items in the main feed but clicking "tv inputs" does nothing). So now even the remotes don't work!  The only thing that works is the app on my phone.... which means my kid can't use the TV without my phone, either.

Without separation of tv inputs we are going to need a new tv....and it won't be a Roku. Younger and older members need simplicity not more steps to use the cable box.

Same here.  We bought a Roku TV to make it easier to access things, not more difficult.  I will not be purchasing another unless this feature is brought back.

Please give us an option to restore TV input tiles to the home screen. This nested tile is very inconvenience. I like to select the inputs directly from the home screen.

Over a month and no answer from Roku. Guess whatever I get In the future won't have this garbage interface.

 

 

It's a TV

It displays things connected to it...

 

Leave the Inputs alone or allow people to customize that
