Can I switch to other HDMI devices (DVD Player, XBox, etc.) in HDMI 2 and 3 with Roku Streaming Stick 4K?  I am using HDMI 1 for the streaming stick, I have a DVD player on HDMI that I would like to switch to within ROKU as a channel.  I also have a Google TV dongle plugged into HDMI 3.  Both devices were active when I launched the Roku Streaming Stick 4K for the first time.   The HDMI ports populate seamlessly or can be added on my Hisense Roku TV as HDMI 1, 2, and 3 but the option to add HDMI ports is not present with my streaming stick when attached to a Magnavox TV.  Any assistance will be appreciated.  Thank you.

The Roku streaming players have no HDMI input capability.  They are just like your DVD player and the Google TV dongle - they are just another HDMI device.  You will need to change HDMI Inputs through your Magnavox TV (using the Magnavox TV remote).

A RokuTV is a TV with an integrated Roku OS, rather than attached via HDMI like a Roku streaming player.  The ability to show these Inputs on the Roku Home Screen are due to the integration of the Roku OS with the actual TV hardware.
