If your X1 or Xfinity Flex TV Box is frozen on the Welcome screen, check your connections and attempt to restart it.

Standard IR remotes use an invisible Infra-Red light to transmit remote key selections. To ensure IR remotes are operating reliably, they must be pointed directly at the front of your TCL Roku TV.
Verify that there is a clear path between your TV and remote. Make sure that there are no obstructions between your TCL remote and the remote sensor located in front of the TV.

Open the battery compartment to locate the pairing button - as shown in above image.

Press and hold the pairing button for three seconds or until the pairing light starts flashing. If the light does not flash, try again. If the light still does not flash, then you will need to replace your batteries. After replacing the batteries, repeat step 1.
when it's done, please Restart your TCL Roku TV

You can choose what screen your TCL Roku TV will display upon powering ON. By default, your TV is set to display the Home screen
You also have the option to specify the input type you want your TV to display when powered ON.
Here are the step-by-step instructions:
1. Press the Home button on your TCL Roku remote control.
2. Scroll down to Settings
3. Press the right arrow button and select System
4. Press the right arrow button and select Power
5. Press the Right arrow button to select Power On

6. Press the Right arrow button and highlight the input that you would like displayed when you power on your TV.
7. Press on your remote control. A check mark should appear next to your input selection.
8. To confirm changes are applied, power OFF your TV then power it back ON.
