Use the navigation pad buttons on your remote (up, down, right and left) to move around and press the middle button (OK) to select one of the menu items. Use the Back button to go back to the previous screen.
The Navigation Bar lets you navigate through your TV experience.
- The Menu icon– the three horizontal lines to the left of Live TV – takes you to the Manage, Settings and Help menus.
- The Navigation Bar lets you navigate through your TV experience. It includes:
- Live TV goes to the last live TV channel you were watching.
- My Shows is where you access your recorded shows. The shows are organized into categories, so you can easily find your entertainment.
- What to Watch helps you discover new content. You can browse shows available for you to stream, watch live or record, organized into popular categories.
- Guide shows you the interactive, on-screen guide, so you can see what’s on live TV and what shows are available to watch – even if they’ve already started or are over.
- Apps & Games gives you access to your streaming and other apps downloaded from Google Play.™
- Search helps you find shows by title, actor name or keyword. It will let you search live TV, your recordings and select apps all at once.
