The grid of tiles on the right lets you visually choose among your favorite streaming channels and the inputs where you have attached devices such as a DVR, game console, antenna, or set top box.
You can easily rearrange the order of the tiles on the Home screen to suit your viewing preferences.
If you have an antenna or cable connected, just click the tuner tile to watch broadcast TV channels. The fun has just begun!
