      It made the audio MUCH better.

    9:14 is very important, and I was waiting to see if you would mention it. Imagine buying a new large Smart TV for an older person with poor eyesight, but they don't care about streaming, and don't want to learn how to navigate it. You can set it to automatically turn on to TV mode so they can watch their old antenna reruns and not get lost!

    I ordered a Roku stick for my Vizio set and would like to know how to change the television inputs so I can use the disc player. Everything I see is using a TCL Roku which is pointless for me. Firestick I only have to use the voice and say switch input or the port I want to change to. So how do you switch tv inputs with Roku? That would be a tip I could use not screen themes.

    QUESTION: I have a Roku device on one TV. I know how to make a "Favorites" menu. But on my other TV, it has "Google Live TV" pre-installed. I do not have a Roku Device installed on that TV. However, I did download the "Roku Channel" appl. This lets me watch all the Roku Live Channels on my Hisense Google TV. Is there a way for me to specifically enter channel numbers or create a "Favorites" number rather than using the up/down arrows? The Hisense Google TV remote does not have "number" buttons and does not have an "asterisk" button for "Favorites."

    Question: I have a TCL series 6 Roku Tv and was having surround sound issues (CEC/HDMI). I found an obscure post saying their Chromecast was messing with the CEC/HDMI and having no sound coming from the speakers. They said they just removed the Chromecast device (HDMI) and now the surround sound was working. Well, I tried this tip and yes, it worked. My surround sound is now functioning. Before the CEC stated “no devices located”…now it sees the SONY Receiver. Do you know why this would be? And how I can hook up my Mii Box with Chromecast and still have sound through the receiver/speaker system? I’m stumped.
