The Mailbox

The mailbox shows you messages that are sent—or “mailed”— from your program providers. For example, you may receive a message calling your attention to a new service.

How to Tell When You Have Mail

There are two ways to tell if you have mail, depending on whether the satellite receiver is turned on or off.

• If the satellite receiver is turned on, a mail icon appears in the upper right corner of the channel marker.

• If the satellite receiver is turned off, the POWER light on the front panel of the receiver flashes.

Checking Your Mail

Select Mailbox on the Main menu to view your mail.

1. Point to a message and press MENU/SELECT.The message is opened for you to read.

2. Press MENU/SELECT again to close the letter.

After you read a message and want to erase it, point to Erase and press MENU/SELECT. When you exit the display screen, messages not erased are saved in memory.

Alternate Audio Programs

Alternate Audio allows you to select different audio programs (when available) to be played with the video. For example, audio broadcast in a second language may be available for certain programs.

There are two ways to change the audio:

• Press ALT AUD on the remote.

• Select Alternate Audio from the Preferences menu (located within the Options menu).
