Descriptions

One guide option is to automatically display descriptions for highlighted program titles. The descriptions usually provide information such as actors’ names, a program synopsis, and additional rating information. Sometimes the description may be only a message describing what type of program is highlighted, such as “Current News.”

This option is chosen via the Descriptions button on the guide pop-up menu. Displaying the extra information reduces the number of channels or titles that can be displayed at one time.

Remember that you can always access program descriptions by pressing the INFO key whether or not the Descriptions button is selected.

Filtering the Guides

Searching through hundreds of channels can be overwhelming. The HD receiver will help you find what you are looking for. By pressing the GUIDE key while already in a guide, a pop-up menu will display, providing the filtering tools and ways to access other guide styles.

By combining each of these filter options, you can quickly narrow down 225+ channels to those that match your viewing interests. Once you exit to view your program, all filters except for the favorite list will reset to an unfiltered condition.

You should also be aware that some guide styles do not provide access to certain filter options. The unavailable filters will not appear in the Guide Menu.
