Assign a default input to your Xumo TV

  • Updated

You can set your Xumo TV to start on a specific screen or input every time you switch it on.

By default, your TV opens to the Home screen, but you can change this to another input like HDMI or Antenna.

To set your preferred startup screen, first identify which version of the Xumo TV interface you have. This will help ensure you follow the correct steps for your device.

There are two ways to identify your version:

  1. Press the SettingsCog.png button on your remote or scroll down to the Settings tile on your home screen.
    • If the first item in the Settings menu is Closed captions, follow the instructions for the Berry version.
    • If the first item in the Settings menu is Picture and sound, follow the instructions for the Teal version.
  2. Look for one of the following logos in the top-left corner of your TV screen:
  •
