How to Get Roku Ultra home screen on startup

Jump to solution

Got through setup of my new Roku Ultra just fine. Now only problem is every time I turn on the tv, the HiSense home screen comes up and I have to hit the back button on the remote to go to HDMI 2 where my Roku Ultra is. My last Roku Ultra didn't do this. How do I bypass that HiSense home screen.

Try enabling 1-touch play in the Roku Settings.

Settings/System/Control other Devices/1-touch play [checkmark to enable]

With this feature enabled, when your TV is off, pressing the Home button (or any other button on the Roku remote other than Power and volume keys), should power your TV on, wake your Roku device, and switch to the appropriate HDMI input automatically. (you should now be on the Roku Home Screen).

You may also need to verify that the CEC is also enabled in your Hisense TV. (HDMI Control)
