We've just arrived at Lakes Entrance for a few days and I'm in the process of setting up the Sphere TV that came with the van and I've left the remote control at home. This TV is usualky mounted on the wall above our treadmill and the remote is still there.
I need to get this working so we can watch the footy tonight and F1 tomorrow night. I'm trying to tune it using the side buttons but it doesn't have an enter button to access the tuning feature.
Anyone know how to do this? I've tried everything and I'm not in the good books ATM!!.

I've found with one I had not a Sphere though, using the volume up/down to select the menu item you need then the + button to enter the selected menu.

Couldn't find a manual online and tried borrowing one off another Expanda owner here but they didn't have a Sphere TV so ended up watching the footy on my Samsung Note 4 phablet using the Foxtel Go app. Works rather well.
Will go shopping for another TV that will stay in the van permanently, may even get a slightly bigger one.....

Found the Aldi TV to be great, 12v, light weight, has every socket from headphone to hdmi and an excellent tuner. Pretty sure can be setup from set.

Last year our Tele died at lakes entrance .....drove over to Orbost and bought a new one with DVD player internal wasn't horribly expensive , works like a champ lives in the van or the camper trailer - also use it with a aerial "Aussie wanderer " needs a booster tho . Never let me down .
I think it was betta electrical in the Main Street of Orbost , was $299 - or a little less .

We paid a visit to Dick Smith in Bairnsdale yesterday and picked up a 23" LCD with DVD player for $219, can't complain about that.
When we get home it will go in the house and the Sphere one will go back into the van permanently, along with the remote!!

For future reference, you can get an app on your phone called Smart Remote (made by Peel). Mine is android but am sure apple will have similar. We use it at home as my 1yr loves to hide all the remotes. What would we do without our smartphones!

Tried that, as well as any other smart remote app available on both iTunes and Google play.
None of them worked simply because none of them had the Sphere brand listed with a code to enable the app.
