Can I use the gamepad to control the puck?
Yes, you can use the gamepad to navigate some parts of the interface, although the dedicated remote control should remain your main option for the best experience.
How to Navigate: Use the Directional Pad (D-pad) - the cross-shaped control located just beneath the left analogue stick on your gamepad - to move up, down, left, and right across the screens.
Where it Works: This navigation is typically supported within the TV Guide and across the interface and within some applications.
Best Practice: For voice search, text entry, or controlling volume and power, the dedicated puck remote control should be your primary tool.
