Every TV kind, explained.

Guides for every kind of TV Tivi talks to — how discovery works, how each platform pairs, and what to do when a set refuses to show up.

Setup & pairing

Local network access, discovery and the pairing prompts each TV shows on first connection.

Controlling Samsung smart TVs — the prompt that appears on screen and what Tizen exposes.

Pairing with webOS sets, the prompt on the TV and the buttons the LG protocol supports.

Android TV boxes and Google TV sticks, and the pairing code they ask for up front.

Chromecast and Cast-built-in TVs — playback, volume and what casting can and can't do.

Roku players, sticks and Roku TVs, and the keys their remote protocol makes available.

Generic DLNA renderers — the fallback for sets that speak nothing more specific.

A TV that won't appear, a pairing that won't take, a command that doesn't land.
