CHANGING THE CHANNEL

You can change the channel from the TV Home screen, or while you’re watching TV at full-screen size.

To change the channel:

Use the CH-/CH+buttons on your remote control or keyboard to move up or down one channel at a time, or use the number buttons to type a channel number.

When you change the channel while watching at full-screen size, a channel banner briefly appears at the bottom of the screen, displaying the following:

•Program name

•Broadcast time

•Current time

•Channel number, network name, and call letters

•Rating, if a rated movie or TV program is showing

Symbols may appear as well: a postmark indicates that you have unread messages in TV Notices, and a lock indicates that you’ve configured the lock settings (described later in this section).
