- bezier-curve 2y agoWhen I first got a Roku TV I had to uninstall a ton of applications that were auto installed, which are treated just as equally as your actual inputs on the home screen. Then once I got that done I later realized removing an input device left that tile on the screen, you would think the OS could be smart enough to see that the device isn't connected for a while and maybe drop it off after some time? I find Roku TV kind of clunky.
- orev 2y agoDropping access to disconnected inputs is extremely annoying. When connecting something new, you often want to change the TV to the input before powering on the device.
- imp0cat 2y agoWhy? I think most users would only want to show devices that are alive. Displaying everything can be quite confusing.
- orev 2y agoBecause when you have a new device there might be boot messages that disappear faster than you can switch to the input after it detects a signal. So you want to be switched to that input before turning it on.
