He is now wondering if the problem is with the smart tv DCFC79. It's a Samsung and we have heard they are not the best. He doesn't understand how to update it and keeps losing channels. It's really too complicated for me. He says he might buy the Fire stick thingy and if it doesn't work then he can keep it for when we get another tv. Thanks so much to all for your help xx0

Normally they auto switch if put in the correct hdmi slot.
Powering on from mains and wifi can take 3 minutes. From sleep mode its pretty instant.0 -
