Yes, problem still there.

@paj3232  If your TV has always been like this then maybe it’s actually not an issue but something exclusive to LG. If I were you I would reach out to them. No one has ever seen this before

I will come back here and let you know what LG has to say.

Looks like I am just screwed. LG is blaming the roku stick.

@paj3232  What are you talking about? So you have a Roku TV with a Roku Stick? Or do you have an LG TV with a Roku Stick? If it’s your TV you should know what you have. What do you mean LG supplied with the TV? You said before you have an LG Roku TV. Is that not the case?

So let me gets this straight. You bought an LG TV and a Roku Stick. Best Buy hooked it up. This changes everything. So is the Stick plugged into the wall for power or the TV USB? If it’s plugged into the TV USB then plug with Stick power into the supplied AC power adapter and plug that into the wall. Do you have the AC power adapter that came with your Roku Stick?

From reading through your postings, it seems that your Roku Streaming Stick is simply being powered off when your LG TV turns off.  Some USB power ports on TV remain on when the tv is off, some do not.

If you plug your Streaming Stick into the wall using a power adapter (you can use a cell phone charging adapter 5V 1 amp), you will likely see your issue resolved regarding the Stick booting up everytime you turn your TV on.  After using the power adapter at the wall, you should just have to press the Home button on your remote to "wake up" your Streaming Stick and find yourself on the Home Screen.

Additionally, on the older Streaming Sticks, you will not see a Power option in the Settings.  This option was introduced in OS 10.5 to the Streaming Sticks 4k/4k+ (models 3820/3821).

Feel free to post back with any other questions or if you need more help.
