Roku won’t stay connected to TV

Jump to solution

Roku disconnects from TV and TV says it can’t find the source. We then have to navigate to Source and choose Roku Home Screen.  This happens if the TV is off more than 15 minutes. Help please.

On your Roku device, try disabling "Auto Power Savings" under Settings/System/Power/Auto-Power Savings/20-min inactivity.

Additionally, some smart TVs are configured to start on their own Home Screen rather than an HDMI. (You may need to browse the TV settings using the TV remote, not the Roku remote, and change the default startup screen to the Roku HDMI if that is your preference.)
