When you’re using certain TV features, you’ll need to enter information into on-
screen text boxes. For example, you might want to search for a TV show by title
or phrase.
If you are using the optional wireless keyboard or have connected a keyboard to
the receiver’s USB port, you can simply start typing when you see a text-entry box
on your screen. (See the on-screen Help for a list of supported keyboards.) If you
don’t have a keyboard, you can type on an on-screen keyboard using your
remote control.
To use the on-screen keyboard:
1 When you see a text-entry box (a rectangle with a vertical yellow line in it),
press your remote control’s
OK button. (Make sure the text-entry box is
surrounded by the yellow selection box before you press OK .)
The on-screen keyboard appears.
2 Use the remote control’s Arrow buttons to place the yellow selection box on a
letter or other character, then press OK to type the selected character.
3 When you have finished typing, select continue on the on-screen keyboard and
press OK .
