 If you select a device that uses a remote, for example, a media player, VCR, DVD, cable or

satellite, a device controls screen appears as a virtual representation of your remote. You

can select the movie or video from your device controls screen.

 If you select a type, for example, Movies or Channels, a list appears from which you can

select a movie or station to watch. Tip: This is the most popular way to watch your channels

or movies.

2. Select the icon for the device or type you want to watch, for example, Plasma Television. The

following figure shows the display on a touch screen.

3. If the device controls screen appears, use the buttons on the device controls to select your

channel, menu, and so on. Notice that the media dashboard (touch screens or MyHome apps

only) appears at the bottom of the screen also where you can change channels, turn up the

volume, or close the dashboard and stop what's playing. Device controls appear for Dish

Network, cable TV, plasma television, satellite, DVD, and so on.

Note: If you select Channels, iPod, Movies or other devices or categories from the Watch icon,

a list of channels or another view appears rather than the device controls screen. This is because

these items do not have remotes associated with them from the original manufacturer. For

example, an iPod doesn't come with a remote.

Tip: Your installer can program the colored buttons for you (see A, B, C, and D below). Check

with your installer for details.
