How to use the Search function?
To find specific content, use the Search function located on the left side of the main page. For example, if you’re looking for the movie Moonfall, you can simply search by typing “moon” or “fall”—partial keywords will still bring up the correct results.
To use voice search:
- Ensure your remote has a microphone button (usually marked with a mic icon).
- Press and hold the mic button on your remote.
- Speak clearly into the remote—for example:
- “Play Top Gun”
- “Open YouTube”
- “Find action movies”
- Release the button after speaking. The device will process your voice command and display the results.
Tip: Make sure your vSeeBox is connected to the internet and has microphone permissions enabled to use voice search effectively.

If your network shows “Remembered” but not “Connected”, it usually means the Wi-Fi password is incorrect. To reconnect, go to the 3rd row of the home screen > System Settings > Network, select your Wi-Fi network, choose Forget Network, and reconnect with the correct password.
Shut down / sleeping mode – which shall I choose?
We suggest shutting it down (power off) if you are not using it. It will release the internal storage and make the box work more smoothly with next usage.
The sleeping mode is for a short period of not using it. The tv box would not be turned off completely for a faster wake-up time.
