I have a TCL Roku TV and would love to convert it to a dumb input selector. Not sure how you could flash the OS of it but I'd gladly contribute money or code to make it happen.
- jrm4 5y agoI'm with you on this. But just to be sure.. They do have a button. It's on the bottom direct center, tiny and slightly further back than you would expect. Press it and you can cycle through your inputs, and turn it off. You may have already known this -- but it's pretty clear that they're not interested in making this a popularly known thing. Or I'm just the idiot :)
- candiddevmike 5y agoI don't have that on my remote, I think? I have back, mute, asterisk, backwards, play, forwards below the dpad.
- wildzzz 5y agoIt's a button under the bottom of the TV, right behind the logo. It's the only button physically on the TV usually for TCL.
- xnx 5y agoHow would a dumb input selector be different than removing the wifi password from the TV? (asking because I have a TCL Roku TV myself)
- candiddevmike 5y agoFor me, faster to turn on, actually turns off (Roku goes to sleep for a bit it seems?), no home screen/channel UI.
- pugworthy 5y agoYou can SSH into your Roku which I believe runs Linux. I haven't looked into it for some years, but I was signed up for development for a while which gets you info on this. My point is if you SSH in it's a good start to understanding more of just what it does and how it works.
