Channels and categories with a TV remote

Prepared by the Beleş TiVi team · Updated 12 October 2026

With live TV controls open, use directional keys to reach the category row. Browsing a category and opening it are different: confirm with OK to load its channels.
After confirming a category, browse the channel row and press OK to play a channel. Focusing a category alone does not change the playing stream.
Moving up from the channel row can focus the category nearest its on-screen position. It does not always return to the category of the current channel.
Next/previous channel controls use the order of the list committed for playback. Simply browsing another category does not change that order; playing a channel in that category does.
Use Back to leave an open panel. Its action depends on the active screen, such as settings or multi-screen. Special remote buttons may send different key codes on different devices.
If focus is not visible, note the theme, remote button and last selected category. These steps are more useful in a support report than “the remote does not work”.

This guide covers TV and TV Box remotes. On touch devices, select categories and channels directly.
