Google Assistant Voice Commands

TDS TV+ gives you the ability to use the Google Assistant to control your system. You can search for programs, change channels, launch apps and much more using your voice.

To issue a voice command, press the Google Assistant button and speak naturally into the remote. Once you've pressed the Google Voice Assistant button, wait for the Google search bar to appear on the screen before speaking.

Here are some of the ways you can search with the Google Assistant on TDS TV+:

• Search for shows by saying show titles like "How I Met Your Mother"
• Search for sports by saying team names like "Red Sox"
• Find out when your team is playing next by asking" When are the Celtics playing next?"
• Change to a channel by saying the channel name like "Travel Channel"
• Search for weather by asking, "What's the weather today?"

For the best experience using the Voice Command functionality, sign in to your Google account or sign up if you don’t already have one. For more information on creating an account, visit accounts.google.com/signup.

Tip: Voice commands are disabled when Parental Controls are on.
