- when in EyeTV, pressing and holding the "menu" button will bring up 
the Remote Buddy menu.
- when using a directly supported app, a short press of the "menu"

All TV products from Elgato are supported in conjunction with their

lines 250, 250 Plus, 300/310, 400/410, 500, 610) as well as TV sticks 
by TerraTec and Pinnacle shipping with EyeTV.
