Channel Changing
How do you do it? Do you have to have the companion running on your pc for it to work on your tablet/phone? And when I look at library/tv,why does it say coming soon? Also,how do you change channels in the guide? I can see what's on but I can't change the channel.

Hey there.
So there are a few things.
1.) Make sure you have the Ceton Companion Services installed and running on your HTPC, there is a background service always running.
2.) For the "TV Library" in the config, that is for local tv files which we are adding support for soon, everything else such as recorded tv, guide, scheduled, etc will show up just fine.
3.) Media Center needs to be up and running as we do not automatically launch media center currently.
Channel Changing:
There are a few ways to do it.
1.) Go into "Channels", select one and then depending on which OS you are on you will see "tune channel" or a tv icon in the app bar or menu.
2.) You can select a show from the guide or channel line up and there is also a tune channel button.
3.) Also on android you can long press on a channel in the channel section or in the guide to tune to it.
4.) If you are watching TV you can use the remote Up and Down to change channels, or go to the number pad and enter the channel number and hit the OK/check mark button.
I think that covers all of it, let me know... also like Crash said... lots of awesome videos

I watched the video's. It shows a show I recorded and the guide but nothing happens when I try to watch. Is it set up wrong? If it is,how can I see the stuff and not switch channels?

When you press play on the recorded tv episode or when you tune a channel does nothing happen? What about when you go to the remote control and press the arrow keys to navigate?
If this is the case and if you just installed it I recommend giving the PC a quick re-boot. Usually if this is the case then either media center was open or the session was open when the services and plugin were installed, which means media center is ignoring the commands until a reboot.
let me know.
