Watching TV

The Channels menu brings all of your TV, cable, and satellite channels into one location. Channels available in this menu depend on your broadcast, cable, or satellite signal provider and can be tailored to your liking.

Important: The TV on-screen display—navigated with your Control4 universal remote control—is specifically designed for quick access to the home theater with fewer layers of navigation, so you can easily access the room's AV sources and favorites.

Use media sessions (formerly called media zones) to play the current room's TV channel in other video-equipped rooms. You can add or remove rooms from the session, and adjust the volume in each room.
