Favourite Channels, Programme Reminders and Timers

Hint

The PIN is factory set to 0000. This code should be reset (as described below) to another sequence of numbers, known only to you, when you have finished setting up the receiver.

You can now leave the Channel List screen and return to normal TV viewing by pressing [MENU]. Any attempt to change channel to the locked channel will now display the same window requesting the PIN code and the channel will only be displayed on entry of the correct code. To remove the lock on a channel, repeat the same process as to lock the channel.

FAVOURITE CHANNELS

There will be some channels that you tend to watch more often and some only occasionally. Although some duplicate channels you may want to delete from the channel list, others although not watched frequently, you will not want to do away with altogether. The favourite mode allows the most- watched channels to accessed more easily, leaving the less-watched channels accessible but out of the way.

When the favourite mode is activated, the [P+] and [P-] keys cycle through the favourite channels only and the EPG will list the favourite channels only (other channels can still be accessed by channel list number or from the Channel List menu screen).

Any channel can be a favourite channel and the Channel List menu is used to label those channels you want as favourites.

Display the Channel List menu sc reen by highlighting Channel List on the Main Menu and pressing [OK].

Use the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] keys to highlight the FAVOURITES button at the base of the screen and then, in turn, highlight each channel that is required to be a favourite channel, using the [UP] and [DOW N] keys (and the [PAGE UP] or [PAGE DOWN] keys), and press [OK]. A channel selected as a favourite appears in the main channel list with a favourites icon against the channel name.

A channel can have this icon removed by

repeating this procedure, to remove the icon. Leave the Channel List menu by pressing [MENU].Once the required channels have been marked as favourite channels, the favourite mode can be activated to allow easy access to them. Press the [MENU] key to display the Main Menu, the [DOWN] key to highlight Configuration, and press [OK] to display the Configuration screen. Press the [DOWN] key to highlight the Favourite Mode line and using the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] keys change the setting from Off to On.

When you leave the Configuration menu by pressing [MENU] the favourite mode is activated. Now, changing channel using the [P+] or [P-] keys will switch to only those channels marked as favourites in the channel list.

You can still access all the channels in the channel list by pressing in their channel list number or by selection from the Channel List in the Edit PR List. Alternatively you can switch off the favourite mode from the Favourite Mode line of the Configuration menu.

Hint

The favourite mode can only be activated if one or more channels in the channel list are marked as favourites. Similarly, if the favourite status is removed from all the channels in the Channel L ist , t h e f avo u rit e mo d e is t u rned of f automatically.

PROGRAMME REMINDERS AND TIMERS

With the greatly extended channel choice that digital terrestrial television brings, it is all too easy to miss a favourite programme. The receiver has two facilities built in to help you make sure you catch all the TV shows you want.

PROGRAMME REMINDERS

Programme reminders can be set to signal that a programme is about to start when you are watching another channel. A reminder is set from the Electronic Programme Guide screen.
