LG TV Doesn't Go to Direct TV First As It Used To Do

Just started having this problem--turning on LG TV it goes first to Web OS (LG TV's service) rather than Direct TV (even though that box is on) as it was doing for over one year.  If I turn off the TV and the Direct TV box and then turn it back on then it shows up as HDMI 2 and Direct TV works again.  What can I do so Direct TV shows up the first time rather than this off/on scenario?  Thanks!

What is the model of your LG TV? You should be able to go into the Settings of the actual TV to set the HDMI port that DIRECTV is connected to AS the default power-up input every time.

The LG TV model we have is 43UP7000PUA.  We've only had it about two years and got Direct TV streaming about a year ago.  Until about two weeks ago the TV would go straight to the Direct TV screen on HDMI2.  Now it goes to the WebOS page for LG.  I'm trying to figure out what to do by looking through the manual for the TV.  Wonder if some update to the LG TV caused this or if it is a Direct TV glitch.  I haven't done anything to the Direct TV stuff since it was installed by a tech over a year ago.

Same for me. The LG tv had an update.  Ever since then,

when I turn the tv on i

cant access direct tv stream.  If I turn it off, turn it back on again, then I can.

Nope still the same thing.  I turn the tv on.  Can’t access direct tv.  Turn it off.  Then turn back on and I can access direct tv stream.  Very annoying.

I literally just fixed this on my dad’s LG tv like 5 minutes ago!!!!!


ITS AN LG SETTING, YOU WILL NEED TO ACCESS THE SETTING OF THE TV WITH THE TV REMOTE, NOT DIRECTV 

There is a setting under general>more settings>home settings>turn off home on start up! 

this will make it tire directly to DTV when tv is powered on!

same issue here too.  my TV connects to HDMI 2 instead of HDMI 3-DirecTV.   I have to go to settings on my LG and click on HDMI 3.   interesting that I only have 1 HDMI cable connected to my LG TV and it's plugged into HDMI 3.

Just bought model 65NANO77SRA. It was working fine with Directv, but after I set the LG channels (Pluto TV) it stopped connecting with Directv.

What should I do ?
