Set an OTT Navigator reminder from a future programme in the guide. The regular option offers a prompt to switch. Eligible Premium can switch automatically. The documented reminders need the app open on its home or playback screen, so plan a separate supported route for recording or wakeup.
Choose a current, future guide event
Open the intended channel’s EPG and confirm the title, date, start time and regional variant. If the guide is stale or paired with the wrong channel, correct that association before depending on its schedule. Use a convenient future event to learn the behaviour before relying on it for an important programme.
- Open the event’s menu and choose Remind me to switch to the channel if you want to decide at airtime.
- If an eligible Premium build offers the automatic switch, choose it only when changing the current channel is wanted.
- Return to the event and inspect the selected choice. To cancel a regular reminder, select its checked Remind me to switch to the channel entry again.
Keep the viewing screen and timing distinct
Leave OTT Navigator open on its home or playback screen at the scheduled time. The publisher describes possible timing variation of up to a minute. When a regular prompt appears, use the offered action to switch if you still want to watch. Confirm the intended programme once the channel opens.
| State at airtime | What to expect from this feature |
|---|---|
| App open, regular reminder chosen | An opportunity to switch to the scheduled channel. |
| App open, eligible automatic switch chosen | A scheduled channel change, subject to the event and playback still being available. |
| App closed or receiver powered off | The documented app-open prerequisite is unmet. |
Use the outcome to select the right next task
If you later find the intended reminder checked but the app was closed, the useful correction is to plan an open-app viewing session or use a device reminder designed for a different state. If the app was open and a wrong programme appeared, confirm the guide association and current event time. If the intended outcome is a saved file, check the player’s recording support, writable destination and authorised source separately.
