Useful hints:

#Remote Control
- In the main view the size of the buttons can be adjusted with two-finger-zoom input.
- Pressing the button on the bottom right leads to all buttons, which are not available in the main view.

#Station Editor
- Synchronizing your modified station table with your TV set overrides its table. It is recommended to create a backup of your station table, using the export functionality of the TV set, to prevent data loss.
- Moving stations is triggered by long pressing a station list entry. You can not only move single stations, but multiple selected stations.
- Using the additional editing mode (triggered by selecting a station) you move, remove of rename stations.

#EPG
- Sync your app with the current available EPG events from TV by clicking on 'sync' button/icon in navigation bar.
- For recording or reminding choose one single event from the EPG overview. Here you will also find additional program information.
- In "settings" you can select a favorite list for your EPG events.
- Be sure to connect a storage device for the records.

#Wake On LAN
- Tapping a list entry send the wake up signal to the corresponding device.
- Long pressing an entry allows to edit or remove it.
If your device does not respond to the sent wake up signal make sure that your device is a) currently in standby, b) in the right wifi network or c) you entered the MAC address correctly.
