I have several LG Webos TVs. One started doing this a long while back. Just this week another started doing the same. They have streaming devices on hdmi ports. To change channels and general navigation i could always use the up down left right buttons. But now I get the he hdmi port with the multi audio icon below. Something has to have been toggled to make this happen. Factory reset doesn’t fix it. How do I access my streaming device from my lg remote again?
