Abstract

Devices, systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with configuring devices are described. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a remote device, a search input for an adjustment parameter. The method searches for the adjustment parameter in a television device based, at least in part, on the search input, wherein the adjustment parameter is a setting in the television device that controls how content is displayed. After the adjustment parameter is found, the adjustment parameter is returned to the remote device, which is caused to display the adjustment parameter. An input parameter value for changing the adjustment parameter is received from the remote device. The television device is reconfigured by locally changing the adjustment parameter based at least in part on the input parameter value, wherein a content is displayed on the television device based on at least the changed adjustment parameter.
