There is no field labelled "Current Show" so we're not sure what you are referring to. Make sure you are using an *Activity* not just a Remote. The Tutorial video on the right side of this page is a great place to start learning about Roomie.

Anynet+ rarely works. If it works for you, you should definitely feel lucky. There is one scenario we know of that works and that is with the latest Onkyo receivers. While there may be more, we would suggest always using IR with any Samsung.

When i click on directv activity it comes up with 3 boxes at the bottom of the remote that are supposed to show the current show, channel, and episode. These boxes are blank. How can i fix this?
