Open Usherr in your TV’s own browser and use the remote: the arrows, OK, Back, Options and the play keys work on every page.
Open Usherr in the browser of an Android TV box, a Google TV or a Fire TV (an NVIDIA Shield works well), at the same address you use at home. The remote is on from the start, and the text is bigger for the sofa.
The TV shows a code and a QR code instead of asking for a password. Sign in on a TV, in Show me how, has the steps.
Move to the nearest thing that way: Up and Down between rows, Left and Right along a row. The thing you’re on is filled in blue. Left at the left edge of a page moves into the menu.
OK opens what you’re on. Back closes what’s open (a sheet, a menu, a window), otherwise it goes back a page.
The Options or Menu key (M on a keyboard) opens More for what you’re on: a poster’s More, the player’s controls, a reader’s settings, or Remind me and Record in the Live TV guide.
Play/Pause plays and pauses in the player, in music and in Live TV. In the player, Left and Right move 10 seconds and Fast forward and Rewind 30. In music they skip a track; in a reader they turn the page.
The guide opens on what’s on now: Up and Down to the same time on the next channel, Left and Right along a channel, OK to watch. While you watch, Channel up and down change channel, digits tune by number, and Back goes back to the guide.
A slider, like the volume, moves only after you press OK on it; OK or Back lets go, so the arrows never get stuck. On settings pages, Right turns a switch on and Left turns it off.
Move to a search box and press OK: the TV’s own keyboard comes up, and its microphone button searches by voice. A TV with no keyboard gets one on the screen (the grid button), with your recent searches. For longer typing, use Finish on your phone.
The arrow keys, Enter, Escape and Backspace do the same. The mouse always works too: use it and Usherr goes back to the usual pointer.
