Searching For Something To Watch; How Do I Search - Hitachi 55R7 Owner's Manual

Searching for something to
watch
Searching for movies and shows across multiple streaming channels is one of the unique features of your Hitachi 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 instruc-
tions—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.
Tip: Use the free Roku mobile app on your compatible smartphone or tablet to make searching even faster. Not
only can you use your device's keypad to type, you can search simply by touching the voice search icon and saying
the name of the movie, TV show, actor or director, channel, or game.
An icon next to each search result shows the category of the result (movie, TV show, actor).
• Press the RIGHT arrow to move the highlight into the list of search results.
• Press the UP and DOWN arrows to scroll through the list of search results to highlight the item you want to view.
