Anyone else have their Switch docked to a Samsung TV?

I have to pull the Switch out of the dock every single time I am done with it because my TV will change inputs even if the Switch is turned off. Most annoying thing I have ever encountered.

Not sure if this only happens on the Samsung TV's, but it does not happen on my Vizio.

@Lethal I have a Samsung TV, not sure what model it is. I haven't had any problems with it changing inputs. It's been a pretty smooth experience.

Have you tried turning the option that automatically turn your tv to the Switch's input if you have it on (yes, including Sleep Mode!) off? Never encountered this since I completely power off my Switch but this might be the solution to your troubles.

Samsung 4k tv and not once had a problem. Now it does act buggy with all my apps from time to time.

What model? Mine is a the KS8500 series. Maybe it only affects the 8 and 9 series? These models come with an HDMI switcher that sits outside of the TV. Nothing plugs directly in to the TV.

@Lethal Not sure of the model but I believe it was manufactured in 2015. I can tell you though I don't have that switch box. Everything plugs into the tv.

Now they put everything on a little box separated from the tv? What kind of black magic is this.

This must be the issue then. Something is causing my TV to change inputs over to the Switch even though the Switch is not on. I have to undock the Switch to continue using a different input.
