LG TV pairing issue

[AbbyGuy77]

Connected  new LG Smart TV to my Telus Android box. Set up went fine. Telus remote turns on tv and box. TV opens with LG dashboard and Telus remote will not control anything on this dashboard. I have to use LG remote to open Telus TV+ screen. Telus remote works again at this point. This is awkward. Would like to have this as a 1 remote operation. Can anyone help with this?

See if you can set your LG TV to default to the input that the set top box is connected to and not the default LG dashboard. I have a different brand of smart TV and it has that setting. Set top box remotes typically only control basic settings on TVs like power and volume.

Thanks Nighthawk. I'll look into that and give it a try.

Found the setting on for the LG TV to start up at recent input rather than the dashboard.

Thank you Nighthawk!
