Search with your voice

Use voice commands to change channels, find shows, get recommendations, launch apps, turn on/off closed captioning and more. No need to memorize special commands—Contour 2 knows what you’re talking about.

Say things like "Watch Food Network," "Show me kids' movies" or "Show my recording list." You can even access recommendations by asking "What should I watch?"

Search with the remote

Use the letters on the number pad to search any menu while watching TV. Contour 2 predicts what you're looking for based on your inputs, so you can get instant results in just a few letters. You can also find a channel by typing its name.  

Navigating the grid guide

To access the Grid Guide, see what’s on live TV and what's coming in the next 14 days, press the Guide button on the remote control.
 

To navigate up and down channel listings:

 

  • Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow buttons to move one channel at a time.

  • Use the Page Up and Page Down buttons to move several channels at a time.

  • Highlight a program and press "OK" to watch it.

     

To see different time slots for up to 14 days:
 

  • Use the Right Arrow button to advance in the grid one time-slot at a time; use the Left Arrow button to go back to the previous time-slot.

  • Use the Fast-Forward button to advance in the grid one day at a time; use the Rewind button to go back a day.

  • Hit Exit to exit the guide

     

To view additional details or record a program:

 

  1. Use the arrows to highlight a program and press the Info button.

  2. Use the arrows to choose Watch, Episodes, Record, Other Times or Series/Movie Info, then press the OK button. To return to the TV Listings instead, press the Up Arrow.
     

Guide filter options

The Contour 2 Guide allows you to filter your guide view to display only the types of channels you'd like to see.  
 

How to select a Guide View
On the remote, press the Guide button twice to access the Select Your Guide View window. Here, you can filter your guide by preferred channels.

Use the Arrow buttons on the remote to select your guide view and press OK. Choose from:

  • All channels

  • HD channels

  • Favorites

  • Trending

  • Movies

  • Sports

  • Kids


Use the Arrow buttons to select a program and press OK.  

Search bar basics and beyond

  1. Press the Contour button on the remote.

  2. Press the arrow buttons to navigate to Search and press OK to choose each letter. As you choose characters, they appear at the top of the screen. The search will begin to suggest titles that match your entry so far.

  3. Use the Down Arrow button to highlight a search result and press OK.

  4. Press the Last button to go back to the search result list. Press Exit to leave the Search screen.
