Roku connection when turning TV on

I have 3 TVs, all with Roku sticks.  I have no issues with one of the TVs and have configured the other 2 TVs the same as the one working.  For the 2 not working, in order to get the Roku main screen, I have to unplug the USB connection and then plug back in.  At that point, I can get to the main Roku screen.  Can anyone offer advice, so I don't have to perform this manual step each time I turn on my 2 TVs?

Re: Roku connection when turning TV on

Using the supplied USB power adapter and not the TV's USB port would probably solve it, but does pressing Home on the Roku remote a couple of times have any effect?

Re: Roku connection when turning TV on

I am using the supplied USB power adapter and not the TV's USB port.  Pressing Home on the Roku remote a few times worked for both TVs.  Thanks!

Re: Roku connection when turning TV on

@csandholm, sorry, I read "unplug the USB connection" as unplugging it from the TV.

You're probably witnessing "Power saving" which will kick in after 20 minutes of no activity.  Pressing any button on the Roku remote (I always recommend Home) should wake it or you can disable the feature under Settings->System->Power.
