Main Menu
The Main Menu is the gateway to all the features of SageTV. From this starting point, you
access all the submenus and features of SageTV. The Main Menu consists of a top level menu,
shown on the left side of the screen, and up to two sublevels opened to the right of the top level.
Navigation
Using the keyboard or a remote, the Main Menu is navigated using the Left, Right, Up, and
Down arrows and the Select command. Use the Right arrow to open a sublevel menu; use the
Left arrow to close a sublevel menu. Use the Select command to open a sublevel menu or
activate an item (see below). The Home command will close all sublevels and return focus to the
top level menu.
Using a mouse, simply move the mouse cursor to the desired item and select it, or move the
cursor over an arrow icon to open the sublevel menu for an item. Move the mouse cursor over a
higher level submenu to close the sublevel.
An item without a submenu have no icon next to the menu item title; use the Right arrow or
Select the item to activate it. An item with a submenu will have one of these arrow icons next to
it:

action. Use the Right arrow or Select the item to open the sublevel menu.

item’s default action and jump to another menu.
