Roku setup

[Chi7]

Hi.  I accidentally did something to the settings and now when the Roku powers on, it automatically goes to a news channel, channel 7 to be exact.   Can’t seem for the life of me, to get the power on settings to go back to just the Roku Home Screen.   I didn’t want to restore to factory settings, then have to download all the apps and setup user accounts.  Your help is much appreciated.   Thank you.

On your RokuTV, navigate to Settings/System/Power/Power on/ Home Screen (click to enable).

You probably currently have Live TV enabled, so just switch to Home Screen and the Roku Screen will appear each time you power on your device.

Thank you.  I’ll try that.

Actually I don’t have that option.   What I have is:

system>power>auto power/system restart

Which type of Roku device do you have? A Roku TV or a Roku streaming device? if you have a Roku device what model is it? 

[Chi7]

The streaming stick 4K.

You don’t power on a Roku stick. It’s always on. So you what you are saying is you want to go to specific channel like Netflix when you turn on your TV? You can only do that with a Roku TV

Sorry, thought you had the RokuTV.

You may have disabled either your TV's CEC feature or Roku's One Touch Play feature.  By enabling your TV's CEC and Roku's One Touch Play, any button press of your Roku Remote will automatically switch to the HDMI input of your Roku device and your Roku Screen will appear.

Settings/System/Control other Devices/Enable 1-touch play

You may have to use your TV remote to enter the TV settings to verify that the HDMI CEC (some tv manufacturers use different brand names for CEC) and verify that it is enabled as well.

Try the above and see if that was your issue.

While watching a normal tv channel (not looking at the Home Screen), press the “back” arrow at the top left of the remote. This should bring up a menu that offers choices of Live TV, Guide, MyLibrary, On Demand. While looking at this menu, use the down arrow on remote to select the gear wheel in the lower left hand corner of the tv screen. This opens another settings menu. The preferences menu here allows you to turn off, or change the startup channel.

Hope this helps
