On the Samsung TV when you first connect a new HDMI source it will sometimes offer a helpful suggestion as to the identity of the source.
If it hasn't guessed correctly you can go into the settings and name all the ports to anything you like.
I had the same issue and eventually got to a solution. My new Samsung TV called both the two items I connected to HDMI ports as "Sky". As the naming was identical it was confusing to my family users. The solution I found on the internet didnt work for my 2024 QLED model. For mine the solution is:
1. Click on on "SOURCE" on the remote. A list of attached items and "TV" appears along the bottom of the screen
2. Use the sideways arrows on the remote to move to the offending "Sky" labelled device
3. Press the DOWN arrow on the remote. You get then two options on the screen: "Set up TV" and "Edit"
(on my internet search, press the UP arrow was the solution, but that didnt apply to my new model)
Select EDIT and you get 4 options for symbols inside the device icon (word "SKY", Cable Box, Games Console &PC)
After you choose one of these, you can then edit the wording that will appear underneath the device icon.
In my case, For my first device I chose the cable box symbol and then went on to edit the word from "Cable Box" to "Virgin Media"
For my second device, I chose the PC symbol and changed the wording to "Chrome Cast"
It seems that Samsung had changed the Up arrow part of the solution to Down arrow for my new model.
