Searching For Something To Watch; How Do I Search - TCL 55US5800 User Manual

Searching for something to
watch
Searching for movies and shows across multiple streaming channels is one of the unique features of
your TCL• Roku TV. Within a single search operation, you can search by:
Movie name
•
TV show name
•
Actor or director name
•
Streaming channel name
•
Game name
•
Tip: Roku Search is available only if your TV is connected to the Internet.
Note: Roku Search doesn't search across all streaming channels, but searches across lots of
popular streaming channels. The actual channels it searches vary by locale, but include popular
providers such as Netflix and several others, with more being added all the time.
You can check which streaming channels are included in Roku Search by going to the Search screen,
clearing all previous searches to reveal the search instructions, and then watching the channel tiles cycle
at the bottom of the screen.
To search, select Search on the Home screen menu. The Search screen has a keyboard grid and initially
displays instructions—a set of icons representing search categories and a list of participating provider
tiles.
Tip: If you don't see the instructions, navigate to the end of the list of recent searches and select
Clear recent search selections.

How do I search?

To search, use the arrow buttons to navigate the on-screen keyboard, entering a few characters of the
search term. With each additional character you enter, you narrow down the search and the search
results become more relevant.
