March 26, 2025.

Tugo TV is designed to be simple and user-friendly, but beyond the basics, there are powerful features that can take your streaming experience to the next level. Whether you want to personalize your recommendations, optimize video quality, or enhance parental controls, Tugo TV offers a range of hidden features that many users may not be taking full advantage of. In this guide, we’ll explore some of these advanced options to help you get the most out of your Tugo TV experience.

1. Custom Profiles for Tailored Recommendations

Did you know you can create multiple user profiles on Tugo TV? This allows each household member to have their own personalized watchlist and recommendations.

How to Set Up Profiles:

  • Go to the Settings menu and select Manage Profiles.

  • Click Add New Profile and enter the user’s name.

  • Select a Maturity Level, allowing you to tailor the content on the new profile to the age of the intended user (e.g. content suitable for ages 7+, 13+, 16+, or 18+).

  • Save changes and switch between profiles easily from the home screen.

This feature makes it easier for everyone to find the content they love, and for parents to feel comfortable knowing their kids have a safe viewing space on their dedicated profiles.

2. Advanced Search and Discovery Tools

Finding the perfect show or movie is effortless with Tugo TV’s smart search and filtering options.

Tips for Better Content Discovery:

  • Use genre-based filters to explore categories like Family, Faith-Based, or news.

  • Try the “Recently Added” or “Most Popular” sections for recommendations.

  • Search using key terms such as “food” to find related content.

3. Viewing On-the-Go

Whereas traditional cable TV doesn’t allow you to watch when you’re away from your cable box, Tugo TV brings your TV channels to any device—phone, laptop, TV, or tablet.

How to Download:

  • Search Tugo TV and download the app

4. Smart Home & Voice Control

Tugo TV integrates with smart home assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant. You can use voice commands to:

  • "Open Tugo TV” Voice Commands – Works natively across Roku, Fire TV (Alexa), Android TV (Google Assistant), and Apple TV (Siri).

  • "Play, Pause" Voice Commands – Supported on all platforms for general media playback.

  • “Rewind/Fast Forward” Voice Commands – When you upgrade to Tugo Plus, you’ll gain lookback/catchup functionality, allowing you to watch missed content up to 72 hours past, and gain rewind/fast forward functionality.

5. Parental Controls for Safer Viewing

Tugo TV offers robust parental controls to help ensure a safe viewing experience for kids.

How to Enable Parental Controls:

  • Go to Settings and select Manage Profiles.

  • Enter the Name of the viewer and select a Maturity Level, filtering content by age rating.
