TVs running the Mango Display app support remote control interactivity, detailed here.

Updated over a month ago

Interact with Mango Display using only the up, down, left, and right navigation arrows and the center select button—found on your TV remote, similar to the example shown below.

Mango Display supports the following TV Remote Control interactivity:

Activate

Click the select button once to make the circular red TV pointer 🔴 visible on your Mango Display screen. Use the navigation buttons (click or press and hold) to move the pointer around your screen.

Navigate

  • Double click the left or right navigation button to turn pages

  • Triple click the select button to pause and restart page rotation

  • Move the pointer over the calendar widget and double click the up or down navigation buttons to see more dates

Update

  • Move the pointer over the checkbox and click the select button to mark 'Chores' completed

  • Move the pointer over the checkbox and click the select button Tap to mark 'To-do & Tasks' completed

Modify

Move the pointer over the calendar widget and double click the select button to make the calendar widget editable. This allows you to add, edit or delete events on your connected calendars, directly from Mango Display.

Works with the following services:

  • Google Calendar

  • Outlook Calendar

  • Apple iCloud Calendar

NOTE: Certain features like virtual pop-up keyboards for text input, or date calendars and time clocks for event dates & time selection are not supported by all TV platforms. In these cases those specific changes can't be made directly on the TV.
