Select the sleep timer with the up and down arrows, and then use the left and right arrows to increase or decrease the time pe- riod, then press OK. At the end of the time you choose, which can be between ten and 120 min- utes, the PVR will automatically return to standby.

When the sleep timer has been started, pressing the Opt key will display the menu again, and the time remaining will be shown next to Sleep timer. You can cancel the timer by using the arrow keys to select disable, or change the time remaining.

4.2 Organising channels

One of the great things about digital TV is that there are lots of channels, and lots of things to watch. But that can also be a little confusing —with so many channels, you may not want to look through what’s on all of them, if you’re not interested in news or quiz shows, for example.

4.2.1 Favourite channels

Favourite channels allows you to tell your PVR which chan- nels you’re interested in. When you call up the EPG, or use the P+ and Pbuttons to move through the channels, you’ll see only those that you’ve marked as favourites, so it’s quicker and easier to find the things that interest you.

You’ll still be able to watch any channel you like by entering its number, or by using the List button to see the full channel list, but favourites make it much easier to flip through channels and see just the ones you enjoy.
