4.2.2 Setting up favourite channels

Before you can use the favourites facility, you need to organise channels into groups of favourites. You can have up to thirty groups of favourite channels, so you could have one list of music channels, one of news channels and one of other chan- nels. Or each member of your family could have a list of their own.

To start creating lists of favourite channels, press Menu and select Organizing Favorites.

On this screen, the first column shows the groups of favourite channels. The second column shows all the channels that are in the group you’ve selected, and the third column shows other channels. You’ll see that some types of channels, such as Movies and News have a group already created.

You can add more groups if you like, and you don’t have to use the ones that are already created —you can just leave them empty.

To see the list of radio channels, instead of TV channels, press the

linefigRadioButton button on the remote control.

Let’s start simply, by adding News channels to the existing group. Use the up and down arrows to select News in the first column, then press the Red button on the remote to move to the list of TV channels. Move through the list until you find a news channel, for example BBC News 24, and press the OK button to add it to the favourites list. You can find other channels and add them too.
