X TV Pro User Guide Helpful Tips
- Change screen size by selecting on the square widget found on the channel display tool bar.
- Add Favorites by long-clicking on a channel in the Live TV section.
- Remove a whole Category with use of Parental Controls
- Record a channel in the Live TV section by long clicking on the selected channel when listed.
- Turn off Subtitles under General settings tab from apps home screen Main Settings widget.
- How do I change the language in audio? When channel is displayed use the bottom tool bar, select settings gear, go to audio track. Option not always available, normally for just Dual Audio category.
- Which Player settings work best. This really depends on the device itself. I have found on the Minix U9 that selecting on Hardware decoder and Open GL helps video pixel distortion. As for the Firestick, Native seems to work best. But feel free to play with these settings yourself to see which works best for your setup.
