Setting Up a List of Custom Stations

To quickly skip or “unskip” stations, select ALL (to skip all) or NONE (to skip none).

Selecting CANCEL returns you to the previous screen, without saving your selections.

If there are stations listed in the Master Guide that you don’t subscribe to or watch often, you can use the Custom Stations feature to specify which stations from the Master Guide you want to skip. After you’ve set skipped stations, they will not appear in the:

qCustom Guide

qStation Index

qStations that appear when you’re using the CH+/CH- buttons to change channels

Note

Skipped stations will continue to be listed in the Master Guide, which you can always access through the Main Menu.

To define a list of custom stations:

1 Select CUSTOM STATIONS from the Options Menu.

2 Select stations that you want to skip.

A station that appears with a checkmark (ü) beside it will be skipped. For example, in the following screen, stations 203, 208, and 213 are set to be skipped.

To set a station so that it is not skipped, just select it again. The checkmark (ü) disappears.
