I feel like my HDMI inputs are third party citizens on my LG TV. I have to scroll past all the stupid apps to choose one of them. And if I press the wrong button, it somehow opens up the LG fake TV channels which defaults to the country music channel. It's an incredibly strange experience. I don't mind all that smart TV stuff but to prioritize it above things like my Chromecast or BluRay player is odd.
- eropple 4y agoOn my C8 at least, you can reorder all items, including HDMI ports. Did that change? (I'm looking at a new TV for my office and that'd sure change my mind.)
- Eezee 4y agoIf you haven't yet, you could put your HDMI devices on the quick access buttons (long press on the number buttons). I pretty much never use the home screen, despite using multiple HDMI devices and a bunch of streaming services.
- leros 4y agoI don't have any buttons on my remote except home, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. If I accidentally press one, I have to go through the home screen and scroll through all the default apps to get back to my HDMI inputs.
- Kerrick 4y agoNot only does this work wonders when the TV is already on, you can even configure QuickStart+ so that the quick access button actually turns on the TV (while switching to that input).
- josefresco 4y agoMy LG will switch to whatever HDMI inputs "activates". It defaults to my Chromecast w/Google TV, but if I turn on my Steam link, or Blu-ray player the input automatically switches.
- colordrops 4y agoThe problem is if you have a PC connected. PCs generally don't support HDMI CEC or eARC or any other mechanisms to signal the TV to turn on or change inputs. This is supposedly for security reasons.
