Hi sorry, so I want to change from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 on my tv using the stream remote, but under the Apps and input tab there isn't an option to switch inputs. I'm Sky Q which I previously had there was a dedicated button on the remote.

with most hdmi devices if you press the on or home button on the relevant remote the tv will automatically switch to the correct hdmi channel

for example if you want to switch from stream to a firestick you should be able to press the home button on the firestick and it will automatically change the hdmi input for you

this does depend on if you have the hdmi cdc settings turned on and also in the tv model you have

The only TV functionality that is available using the Stream remote is VOLUME once you have paired it.

To select TV inputs you'll need to use the TV remote.

@Nadeemsaleem Check that you have HDMI control turned on in settings > Start up & Standby menu. With this on your TV should select the correct HDMI input when you turn the puck on or take it out of standby.

@Nadeemsaleem

The Stream remote doesn't have an Input button. On the Glass television (same remote) this is handled in the GUI or through voice control.

Thanks for your replies guys. I've sorted it. The issue was I have my PlayStation connected to my tv and I've lost my tv remote (haven't used it for years). So to change the hdmi Input from the stream to the PlayStation I had to do it on the tv itself. I've changed the settings on my tv so when I turn either device on the input changes automatically.
