What does Remote focus mean?
Remote focus is the interface state identifying which control will respond to a directional remote’s select action. A visible highlight and predictable focus order are central to a usable television app, especially when the layout was originally designed for touch input.

A mouse workaround may reach some controls without establishing complete remote support. Choose a documented television build where available.
