How to make YTTV to automatically start when powering on?
I am trying to help my mother who has YouTube TV as her default app. How to link to live tv option maybe? The only setting I’m finding is on the power setting it allows it to go to the preferred input but steaming tv isn’t obviously on an input. I was able to do this on her google tv (Hisense) so I assume there’s a way to do this on the Roku. Just need to make it easy on my mother and allow her to just turn the tv on and it automatically is on YouTube Tv as that’s really the main thing she uses.

Re: How to make YTTV to automatically start when powering on?
Hi @BigOrangeLuLu,
Thanks for the inquiry, and welcome to the Roku Community!
Please be advised that a channel or app cannot set a Roku device to start automatically. Although a Roku TV may have a dedicated input (such as a Live TV or an HDMI port), YouTube TV (or any other app) cannot be set to launch automatically.
Hope you'll find this information useful. Let us know if you have any questions.
Kind regards,
