Use Voice Search (Voice Command)
TDS TV+ is integrated with Google Assistant, so you can control your TV and Google Home-connected devices with
your voice. Simply speak into the remote and Google Assistant will do the rest. Search by channel name or number,
program name, sports team, actor, etc. To use your voice to search TDS TV+ for something you want to watch:
1.
While viewing any menu or watching TV, press the Google Assistant button
2.
Wait for the Google search bar to appear on screen.
3.
Speak naturally into your remote control. Say the title, actor, or keyword that you're searching for, like: "Find
Modern Family" or "Show me Melissa McCarthy"
You can also use issue commands like: "ESPN" or "Channel 250" to go to a specific channel; "My recordings" to
go to your My Shows screen; or "Launch YouTube app" to launch an app.
Voice Command works best when you are signed into your Google account. From the Home Screen Navigation Bar,
choose Settings and scroll to the Device menu. If you don't have a Google account, visit Google.com/signup from a
web browser first.

Setting Up a OnePass
Search and Recordings
With TDS TV+, you no longer have to wonder when a show will be airing or which streaming service has it available,
because TDS TV+ OnePass search will find it for you. It gathers all available episodes of a series (whether streaming,
broadcast, or on demand) and adds them to your My Shows list.
TDS TV+ offers three levels of DVR storage capacity, so you can choose the level that fits your usage.
For sports, a OnePass search will find matches whether you search by team name, league name, location, nickname,
or abbreviation.
