Setting the Station Order

The STATION ORDER option lets you change the order in which stations are displayed in the program guides to alphabetical or numerical. The default setting is NUMERICAL.

2 Select NUMERICAL or ALPHABETICAL.

ALPHABETICAL station order defines the sequence of the stations according to their call letters, such as ABC, CNN, etc. It does not define the sequence of stations by program name.
