Questions and answers
Lost my roku channel. Need to get it back to HDMI2 or HDMI3
To restore the Roku channel on your Sceptre X50 to HDMI2 or HDMI3, ensure the Roku is connected to the desired HDMI port (HDMI2 or HDMI3) on the TV. Then, use the TV remote to switch the input source to the same HDMI port. If there's no audio or video, check that the Roku is powered on and securely connected. If routed through a receiver, ensure connections follow standard setup—preferably with all sources connected to the receiver and a single HDMI cable from the receiver's HDMI OUT to the TV's HDMI IN.
