Five configurable shortcut buttons for channel and page. Reconfigure by holding on the button for 3
seconds.
You can swipe the page number at the top to go to a predefined page. Use settings on your home screen to
configure. Default all swipes go to page 100.
Miscellaneous:
Some channels have a time at the top that is not the same as when viewed on a TV. This time
reflects the time the page was changed. So you may think you read old news but it is the latest available on internet
and the same as on TV.
Please note:
This is only a specialized web browser and relies on publications on the internet. This means that
channels may disappear at any time.
Requires OS 4.3 or later.
