The SmartBar – Ready when you are
The SmartBar, located at the bottom of the Home screen, predicts shows to watch
based on what your household usually watches at a particular time or day. For
example, if you normally watch the previous night’s late-night talk show the next
morning, you will see it in the SmartBar when you wake up. If the kids tend to watch
shows while dinner is cooking, those shows will be waiting in the SmartBar at that
time each day.
