Solving playback issues

[jgb199]

When I turn the TV on with Roku remote, I get "no signal" until I press a button on the remote.  I did not have this issue with prior Roku remotes that did not have TV controls.

The power button will turn on the TV.  Pressing another button like Home will "wake up" the Roku device.

Verify that you have your CEC capability enabled on your TV. (Using your TV's remote, not Roku remote, look in Settings, normally under HDMI related settings).  After enabling CEC, using your Roku remote, enable 1-touch play. (Settings..System..Control other Devices..Enable/check)

After enabling, any press on the Roku remote buttons should now power on the TV and switch automatically to the HDMI that the Roku is connected to and you should be on Home Screen of Roku.  To turn off TV, first press Home (to stop streaming), then press Power button.  This will turn your TV off and allow Roku to eventually sleep.

CEC is named differently for different tv manufacturers so either post your TV model here or do an internet search for your TV model.
