Wording is flexible. Commands are matched against a list of everyday synonyms, so “switch to”, “tune to”, “put on” and “watch” all do the same thing. The phrases below are simply the clearest way to say each one. Recognition runs on the device — understanding a command does not require an internet connection or any AI service.

Channels

Tune by name or by number, move through the lineup, or step through other channels that matched the same spoken name.

“Switch to Newsmax”also: tune to, put on, watch, change to, turn to, play Finds the best matching live channel and tunes it.
“Tune to ESPN” The same command in different words.
“Go to channel 125”also: channel 125, play channel 125 Tunes by position in the channel list you are currently browsing.
“Channel up”also: next channel The next channel in the normal order, exactly like the CH+ button.
“Channel down”also: previous channel The previous channel in the normal order.
“Last channel” Returns to the channel you were watching before this one.
“Next match”also: try the next one Tries the next channel that matched the name you last spoke.
“Previous match”also: try the previous one Goes back to the previous match in that same list.
Why “next match” exists. If you have several playlists enabled, more than one of them may carry a channel with the same or a similar name — Newsmax, Newsmax HD, NEWSMAX US. PureFusionIPTV ranks those candidates rather than picking one at random: an exact name beats a partial one, and a channel on the playlist you are already watching beats the same channel elsewhere. The best one is tuned immediately, and Next match steps through the rest without you having to say the name again. If several genuinely different channels are equally good matches, PureFusionIPTV shows a short list instead of guessing.

“Next match” is not “next channel”. Next match walks the candidates for the name you spoke. Next channel is ordinary channel-up through your lineup. The match list is kept for about 45 seconds and is cleared when you do something unrelated, such as opening the Guide.

Discovery

Movies, Series and live Guide searches are three different things, and PureFusionIPTV keeps them apart based on how you phrase the request.

“Find horror movies”also: show me horror films Searches Movies for the Horror genre.
“Find horror shows”also: find horror series Searches Series for the Horror genre.
“What horror movies are on now?”also: find horror movies on now Searches the live Guide for matching programmes airing right now.
“Search for Reacher”also: look for, find me An ordinary search across everything.
Titles that contain a genre word still work. “Find Family Guy” searches for the show — it does not switch to the Family genre. The difference is the rest of the phrase: a genre search only happens when everything you said is a genre and a media word, so “find family movies” is the Family genre while “find Family Guy” is a title.

Where you already are counts. Saying “show horror” inside Movies searches Movies; the same phrase inside Series searches Series. Being explicit always wins — “find horror movies” goes to Movies no matter which screen you are on.

Playback

Transport controls for whatever is currently playing.

“Play” Starts or resumes playback.
“Resume”also: continue, unpause The same as Play.
“Pause” Pauses playback.
“Stop” Stops playback. On Live TV this pauses the stream, so the channel is still there when you come back.
“Mute”also: turn the sound off Silences the audio.
“Unmute”also: turn the sound on Restores the level you were at before muting — not full volume.

Volume

Relative changes and exact levels. One spoken command is one volume change, however many steps you ask for.

“Volume up”also: turn it up, louder, raise the volume One step louder.
“Volume up three”also: turn it up three notches, volume up 3 Three steps louder.
“Turn it up a few notches” Three steps louder.
“Volume down”also: turn it down, quieter, lower the volume One step quieter.
“Turn it down five” Five steps quieter.
“Turn it way down”also: turn it way up Five steps, in the direction you asked for.
“Set volume to 50 percent”also: set volume to 25, volume 75 percent Jumps straight to that level.
Which volume actually changes depends on your device. PureFusionIPTV uses your device’s own media volume — the one the volume buttons on your remote move — whenever the Android TV device permits an app to change it. You will see the normal system volume bar appear, just as if you had pressed the button.

Some hardware does not allow that. Set-top boxes with a fixed audio output, and many HDMI/ARC and CEC setups where a television or receiver owns the volume, report to Android that the level cannot be changed by an app. On those devices PureFusionIPTV safely falls back to adjusting its own playback volume instead, and tells you that is what it did (“Player volume increased”). If neither is possible — a fixed-volume device with nothing playing — it says so rather than pretending: “Volume is controlled by your TV or receiver.”

PureFusionIPTV never uses hidden or privileged system interfaces, simulated remote-button presses, or accessibility shortcuts to force a volume change. If your device says no, the answer is no.

Guide & Info

Details about what you are watching right now.

“Show program info”also: show info, show channel info Opens the programme information panel for the channel you are watching, the same panel the Info button shows.
“What’s on?”also: what’s playing, what am I watching The same panel.
This command applies to live playback. If a full-screen section is open, close it first and PureFusionIPTV will tell you rather than changing what is on screen unexpectedly.

Favorites

Add or remove the channel you are currently watching.

“Favorite this channel”also: add this channel to favourites, add to my list Saves the current channel to Favorites.
“Remove this channel from favorites”also: unfavourite this channel Removes it again.
Both spellings work — “favorite” and “favourite” are treated as the same word.

Maintenance

Start a Guide or playlist update without going into Settings.

“Refresh Guide”also: refresh EPG, update EPG, resync guide Starts a full update of every enabled EPG source. Your existing Guide data stays on screen while the new data downloads.
“Update playlists”also: refresh playlists, reload playlists Starts a refresh of all your playlists.
Both run in the background, so you can keep watching. PureFusionIPTV confirms that the update has started immediately rather than making you wait for it to finish. These are the same operations available from Settings — nothing is deleted, and neither command can remove your playlists or Guide data.

Voice Search

Anything that is not recognised as a command becomes a search, exactly as it always has.

“Family Guy” Searches for the title.
“Reacher” Searches for the title.
“Yellowstone” Searches for the title.
Commands never swallow a search. A phrase has to match a command clearly to be treated as one. If PureFusionIPTV is not confident, your words go to Search unchanged — so speaking the name of a show can never accidentally change the channel or the volume. Equally, if you ask for a channel by name and nothing matches, the words you spoke are handed to Search instead of being thrown away.

Where to speak

Both microphones understand exactly the same commands.

Actions Bar microphone Press OK on the player to bring up the Actions Bar, then choose the microphone.
Search microphone The orb beside the Search field. Commands work here too, not just searches.

Speech recognition itself is provided by your Android TV device and may require a network connection and microphone permission. Once the words are recognised, deciding what they mean happens entirely on the device.
