topic TV input description in Sky Stream

TV input description

I have had Stream for a couple of years now, and for the record I love it. This is only a minor issue but I noticed recently that when I turn on using the Stream remote, which automatically turns on my LG OLED TV, that whereas previously the input signal that briefly appears on the screen said Amstrad, it now says SkyQ. My question is, does it matter, and eitherway can I change it?

Rename it in the TV Input menu.

As above, that has been mentioned many a time on here.

My LG C5 did the same.

Go into your LG settings and replace the input name of the hdmi port the Sky Stream is attached to.

@Stephen+Mourton

I'd imagine it's the LG set picking up an identifier from the Sky hardware over HDMI and then (mis)applying a label from an internal LG database which is occasionally updated: back in the day Amstrad manufactured Sky+ and Sky+ HD boxes.

It really doesn't matter what is called, Sky Q is probably a more accurate description. My LG OLED has always said Sky Q, but like others have suggested if it bothers you rename on the TV'S settings.
