“How do I set up this TV so cable input is default? I don't want to have to select input every time I turn it on. Can it be set up to start in cable mode? My comcast remote allows me to change volume but not select input. I have to keep two remotes around.”

Amended answer: Go to the Home screen with all the content offerings, etc. From the top listed menu selections, scroll to the right and select Settings, then select Display & Sounds. From the menu options listed in a window on the right,scroll down to "Set power on to last input." See screen caps attached. Do not press and hold the Home Icon at the top of the Remote. This selection will take you to small, right side menu which does not have this option. (Should be included in next update!)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Latest software update has changed system menu. No longer has "Display & Sounds" option, and no "Power" sub-option. Therefore, no "default to last HDMI input" choice. Annoying to have to change to tabletop box (Tivo in my case) to use the TV in the way I want. Therefore, we newer owners need a better answer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Don't hit the SETTINGS button on the remote. Has a totally different list. Hit the HOME button & then look for the SETTINGS (gear icon all the way on the right) & select the following: > Display & Sounds (top right) > Power Controls > Power On menu (4th from the top). From there, change the option to “Last Input” and the TV will always go to the last input that was used when it is turned on. Had to do it twice on my TV. Now I only need one remote; not two or use Alexa.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just had this same issue and you have to turn off the automatic “home” launch. Press the settings button on your tv remote and go to general settings and find your way to the home advanced settings and switch off the setting that says “launch home”
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can set the TV to turn on to the last input used (e.g. cable tv) instead of the home screen. Go to Settings -> System -> Power and select Power On to Last used TV input.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The manufacturer does not give us any information, so I guess we're on our own...what happened to old-fashioned operation manuals???
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This doesn't default but it powers up on the last input/screen displayed: This works on the Insignia TV. Use remote to change. Press "Home" button on remote. Scroll to "settings" button on screen, (May not need to select it). scroll down to and select "Display and Sounds". Select "Power Controls". Select "Power On". Scroll to and select "Last Input". (The comment, "When powering up the TV, start on the last input or channel. This setting allows quick access to the last content source you watched." should appear on the screen. You're all done.) Exit. Go to and select the "Input" you want to display on start up and turn off the screen/tv. When you power on the display will be where you were when turned off. You're done.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.we use the ROKU remote but have to use the cable remote to change channels same with my Samsung in recroom
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Absolutely nothing on this thread helps with insignia tv’s because their settings does not allow any system controls (only has input, sleep timer, sound, and picture) so I am forced to select input every time. Do not buy an insignia TV for a senior citizen, they will absolutely not understand this.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Go to the home screen, select settings, then select display & sounds, then set power on to last input.
