Hub Settings and Details
Overview
Every JubileeTV console has its own dedicated Hub Settings & Details menu. Because these menus are console-specific, you can manage and customize each TV setup individually.
Within this section, you will find two main areas:
- Hub Settings: Tailor the JubileeTV experience to meet the unique needs of your loved one (the TV End User). This is where you configure console-specific features like Remote Customizations, default microphones, and interface preferences.
- Hub Details: View technical and diagnostic information for the specific console, such as configured source devices, network status, and current firmware versions.

Automatically Turn TV Off

- Note: This schedule is based on the local timezone of the JubileeTV Console.
Power-On to Power-Off Timer
If the TV is turned on by a system event (like a Video Call or a Reminder) and no one interacts with the TV, the system will automatically turn the TV back off after the set time has elapsed.
- Options: 5 minutes, 15 minutes (default), 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, or "Don't power off TV."
Default Input
Set the default input for the JubileeTV to use when the TV is turned on.
- Last Input: The TV stays on whatever input was last active.
- Specific HDMI Input: If you have more than one source device, you can force the console to a specific HDMI input whenever the TV turns on.
Note: This setting controls the active input for the JubileeTV console (not the active input for the TV itself).
Hub Settings: Favorites
Manage your loved one's preferred channels and apps so they are always easy to find. Learn how to configure this feature in our dedicated guide on Favorites.
Hub Settings: Remote Customizations
This section allows you to manage both the general hardware settings of the remote and the specific functions of its buttons.
General: Remote Backlight
The JubileeTV remote features a built-in motion sensor that detects when the remote is picked up or moved. You can configure when the buttons light up to balance visibility with battery life.
- Always On: The buttons will light up every time motion is detected, regardless of the time of day. (Note: This setting uses the most battery power).
- Always Off: The buttons will never light up, even when the remote is moved. This is the most battery-efficient setting.
- Off from 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (Default): The backlight remains inactive during daylight hours to save battery. The buttons will only light up when motion is detected outside of this window (from 6:01 PM to 8:59 AM).
- Note: This schedule is based on the local timezone of the JubileeTV Console.
Button Customizations
