What it is for

The “Media” submenu brings together everything you can watch that does not come through the aerial or dish: films and music from a USB stick, a hard disk or the network, photos, the web browser on the TV and network places (the computer at home, a NAS).

It has four rows: “Media player”, “Photos”, “Web browser” and “Network places”. Each one opens its own screen, with its own help page.

Recordings made by the receiver are not here. You find them under the EMC key (“Films and recordings”).

How to get here

Path: Main menu > Media.

Keys while watching TV: MENU 8.

Directly, without the menu: the Mplay key opens the media player.

In the web interface: the /meniu page shows the same menu. Each row has its own page: /player, /poze, /navigator, /locuri-retea.

What you see on the screen

At the top: the title “Media”, the clock and the date. In the Pro theme, “HD SATELIT” with the “PRO” label is on the left, and the signal quality and the network icon are on the right.

On the left, the four rows: “Media player”, “Photos”, “Web browser” and “Network places (not tested)”. “(not tested)” means the function is ready but has not been tried on all receivers. The selected row is blue.

In the Pro theme, on the right, the same four boxes as in the main menu: “NOW” (the channel, the programme, the progress, “Next”), the satellite with “Quality”, “Signal” and “BER”, “Receiver” (the temperature, the processor load, the free memory, “Running for”) and, at the bottom, the image version with the receiver name.

In the tile layout (YELLOW), each row is a tile with its own icon and number.

Problems and solutions

I cannot find my recordings in “Media”.

The receiver's recordings are under the EMC key (“Films and recordings”).

“(not tested)” appears next to “Network places”.

The function is ready and you can use it, but it has not yet been tried on all receivers.

The number keys do not open the row I want.

The number is the row's position in the list, from top to bottom: 1 Media player, 2 Photos, 3 Web browser, 4 Network places.
