Back to Live TV

Anonymous — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 05:35:14 GMT

Me Again,

OK Found my first annoyance, so watching a show and the ad's come on.. Using voice command I say "Skip 2 minutes" but on occurances it looks for a show called skipping which then takes me from live tv to a show.

How the devil do you easily return back to Live tv ?? Currently i have to research the show I am watching and select it to go back to live tv.

Thanks.

What happened when you said the name of the channel?

Shouldn't you have said "skip forward" rather than "skip"🤔

hi @Exiled-in-HH not sure what you mean about saying "Name of channel".

I say "Skip 3 Minutes"... which 8/10 times works the other two try to perform a search (It's not recognised what I said). I can try other methods but there are always going to be instances where it is not recoginsed.

I then get a show listing (The show I am trying to skip is still playing), The question was in that scenario how do I return easily back to the original show, without finding it in the menus. Surely there should be an easy way of returning.....

You can access channels by saying the name of a channel🤔

Try saying ... "skip forward" rather than "skip"😔

It's not possible to skip adverts while watching live television.

For a recorded show, that would destroy the schedule.

In actual live broadcast the next bit hasn't happened yet...

@Exiled-in-HH

I will try "Skip Forward".

Still doesn't answer the question of how to return to show 🙂

@Anonymous Generally I find the voice command for FF and RW work pretty but I haven't tried using the word "Skip" as I just say forward 3 minutes or back 3 minutes etc.

To get back to what you were watching if you press the home button it defaults to the window "Currently playing" so just press the select button again.

If the currently playing has changed due to your search just press the left arrow and it will take you to the last channel you were watching.

I've never had your issue ... I'd suggest pressing the back or left button😔
