Apple Watch. <!--break--> Here's what's included in the 4.0.106 update:</p>
<ul><li>Now you can now control your connected HD-DVR right from your Apple Watch! </li> <li>Play, pause, rewind, and fast forward Live TV, On Demand and Recorded content.</li> <li>Set episode and season recordings.</li> <li>Navigate and select options from the on-screen guide, playlist and menu displays on your HD-DVR.</li> </ul>
