Can I watch YouTube videos on my TV?

Yes. If you have an HD DVR receiver or a model R22 DVR receiver and it's connected to your home broadband Internet network, you can access and watch YouTube videos right on your TV. Here's how it works:

  1. Press MENU on your remote and select SEARCH & BROWSE
  2. Select SMART SEARCH
  3. YouTube videos matching your search words will appear as the last items in your search results. They will be marked "YouTube" in the right column
  4. To view, highlight the YouTube video using your arrow buttons and press SELECT and then select Play.
