Getting Started - Setup & How-to

Help getting started with Roku devices, including setup, connecting your device to your TV, linking a Roku device to your account at my.roku.com/link, adding channels, subscribing to services, and more.

Roku not showing up on my source list on my TV and therefore is not recognized. However, if I power off the TV, then Roku will boot up and show up on my source list. How do I correct so Roku is always recognized on my TV and available to view? I have Samsung TV. Thanks.

And your model of Roku? Is it powered by the tv usb, or plugged into the wall?

If you appreciate my answer, maybe give me a Kudo.

I am not a Roku employee.

Roku Express. Powered by plugging into wall. When I power off, both the TV and Roku device are powered off. They both go on when I turn power on; this action will boot up the Roku on TV. I have to do this action whenever I want to watch Roku. Thanks.
