Channel Lists are provided to help you organize the hundreds of available channels into groupings suitable for your household. Each list can contain as many or as few channels as you wish. You can customize these groups several ways. For example, Fav. A could be Dad’s favorite channels, Fav. B could be Mom’s favorites, Fav. C could be the kids’ channels, and Family could be all channels that Mom and Dad have deemed appropriate for the entire family.

Quality entertainment for the whole family, featuring animated XYZ classics, original series, entertainment specials, and movies.
The four columns of small boxes on the right hand side of the pane are the Tag Boxes. The first three columns are the Fav.A, Fav.B, and Fav.C. channel lists. The farthest right hand column is the Family list.
Note: If the receiver is locked, only existing Family list channels are accessible. If the Family list has not had channels added to it, no channels can be viewed without first unlocking the receiver. To avoid this inconvenience, create the Family list before locking the receiver. See Chapter 7 – Using access controls, on page 37 for additional details about controlling system access.
5.Use the navigation buttons to highlight the tag box that corresponds to the channel number and list that you wish to create or change.
6.Press SELECT to add or remove the check mark, which indicates that the channel in that row is included in the list shown at the top of the column.
