    The Halo Tactile (the one with the non-touch interface and with a numeric keypad) has 3 assignable hard buttons that will display the label for the function at the bottom of the display just above the top row of 3 hard buttons. In addition, four "Custom Buttons" icons allowing up to 6 functions...

    Halo Touch vs Non-Touch

    1. Still have to touch the screen 2. Very good after the latest firmware update providing it is not in deep sleep. Changing the setting for when to go into deep sleep to 3 hours works well for me. 3. Battery life is improved after the last update, but extending the time until it goes into...

    Halo Touch vs Non-Touch

    Custom buttons are also available on the Halo Tactile. There are the three buttons immediately below the screen whose labels appear on the bottom part of the screen. Other custom buttons created by the agent are also accessible by scrolling down on the Home Screen. That said, those are easier...

    Yes, now I mostly use YouTube TV as well and the Touch works great for that as well as for Kaleidescape.

    Halo Touch vs Non-Touch

    I have both the Touch and the Tactile Halo's. The Tactile is a good bit less expensive, and its actual numeric keypad works better if you have a cable box or satellite receiver that has direct numeric entry. The Touch has a keypad screen for those, but that is a little less handy for me. They...

    NEWS: Warner Bros 4K HDR Content Added!

    I am certainly pleased to see the Warner UHD titles added. Are there any plans to offer a UHD, but non-HDR version also as has been done with the Sony UHD titles? Neither my Sony 1100ES projector or Sony XBR-79X900B flat panel can do HDR but look great with 4K content. Thanks

    NEWS: 7.3 Released to dealer demo systems

    I am initiating my HDR downloads remotely as I am away from the house where we have our Kscape system. I got the message that my system didn't support HDR, but it gave me the option to download anyway and required me to acknowledge that I was aware it might not play or that I was planning on...

    NEWS: 7.3 Released to dealer demo systems

    Jim, I saw elsewhere that one of the 10 titles being released for dealer access is "Rocky Mountain Express", but it was shown as not having an Atmos soundtrack. I have the UHD Blu-ray version of "Rocky Mountain Express", and it has one of the best Atmos soundtracks I have ever heard. If what I...
