Search
The Search category contains three different ways to search
for programming: By Title, By Keyword, and By Category.
Search results are thorough and may display results from
Live TV, Recorded TV and VOD.
Find by Title or Keyword: When you select "Find By Title"
or "Find By Keyword," a screen will appear that allows you
to enter what you are looking for. Use the arrow buttons to
navigate the onscreen keyboard; to enter a letter, press
with that letter highlighted. You will see results on the left
filter down with each letter you enter. To browse the search
results, press the left arrow until that panel is in focus. Use
the up and down arrows to scroll through search results.
Find by Category: When you select "Find by Category",
scroll left or right to view categories. Scroll up or down to
view programs available in that category. A card labeled
"More" in each category will take you one level deeper into
the menu and allow you to browse subcategories.
Favourites
The Favourites category provides easy access to the media
you like the most. You can build your Favourites list from
any channel that appears in the TV channels category or TV
filters, excluding any channels blocked by parental controls.
You can also add a folder or file from your computer.
To add an item, press INFO with that item selected, and
choose add item to favourites.
You can delete a single item by selecting it and choosing
remove from favourites from the action menu. You can also
CLEAR
press on the remote control.
Clear the entire favourites list by selecting the Options card
(you might need to scroll down to see it) and then choosing
clear all from the action menu.
