Your Salt Home internet connection is ideal for an optimal use of Salt TV on your smart TV. 

For stable transmission, especially on a large screen such as your smart TV, we recommend a LAN connection (wired connection). Wi-Fi (wireless connection) can be affected by many factors that are not always visible at first glance, making it more prone to transmission errors than a wired connection. Despite this, in most cases Salt TV works correctly over Wi-Fi.

On LG brand TVs, you can also use the central wheel to change channels:

While watching a programme, you can bring up the following commands (by pressing the button in the centre of the directional ring):

Available commands include: 

1. Display subtitles and select audio language (if available for current programme). 
2. Start-over: restarts the programme from the beginning. 
3. Fast rewind: sets back 30 seconds. 
4. Live pause: pauses the live programme. 
5. Fast forward: advances 60 seconds. 
6. Back to live TV. 
7. Displays detailed programme information. 
8. Record programme.

The Salt TV app offers you the possibility to find all the channels available in your subscription, both live and replay (when subscribing to a replay option), as well as your recordings and your list of favourite channels.
