Remote control question

[bighammerfan1966]

Hi all. I have a Sony Bravia TV model KDL-50W809 (cant remember the rest ! ) and the remote control is model number RMT-TX100D. My question is, when searching youtube etc, how do I change the remote control keypad to type letters instead of numbers ?

You cannot, but you have several alternative:

• you may use the app TV&video Sideview on iphone/android smartphone and use its remote keyboard to enter whatever you want anywhere
• you may cast from youtube on a smartphone (where you can select the video(s) you want to watch directly to your Tv
• you may connect an usb/BT keyboard to your TV

The app TV&Video sideview (only for android) can be used also to enter voice command in your search.

Were in the app can I find the remote keyboard ?

In the top row of the app on the right corner you have an icon for remote emulators. If you tap it you can choose between 3 different type of remote (standard, touchpad and mosue) and a keyboard. In any case whenever it detects that the TV required a string input, the keyboard should pop-up automatically.
