Learn how to use the Ignite TV (formerly BlueCurve TV) remote with Netflix. Many buttons on the remote have unique functions within the Netflix app environment, and some are disabled. See the image below for an overview of how each button on the Ignite TV remote works while using the Netflix app.

Did you know: While you can use voice commands to find and watch Netflix titles from the Ignite TV interface, the voice feature and microphone will only work within the Netflix app when searching a specific title (Example: "Community"). Likewise if you search a title and add "on Netflix" you will be taken to the Netflix title within the app when searching from the Ignite TV interface (Example: "Community on Netflix").
