Ordering the sequential channel list

When the TV is manufactured, by default, all of the possible Australian TV channels are allocated to the sequential channel list (available through the channel up or down buttons).

You will likely want to remove all of the channels from the sequential channel list which are not being used in your area, so you don’t have to cycle through the unused channel positions.

The TV will do this for you, by scanning the TV channels in your region and only adding those that it detects to the sequential channel list, skipping over all of the others (unused channels). See "Performing Auto installation" on page 27.

Each position in the sequential channel list always remains in the list. Only the availability (visibility and access) of each channel in the list is determined by the channel 'Skip' property of each channel position in the list.

By manually changing the channel 'Skip' property to either 'Skipped' or 'Added', you can control whether the channel up and down function will skip over any particular, or any number of, channel positions in the sequential channel list. See "Adding a channel in the sequential channel list" and "Skipping a channel in the sequential channel list" below.

To make working with the sequential channel list easier, you should provide a name for each channel you wish to retain and use in the list. For example, ABC analog channel 2 in Sydney Australia is allocated to the TV video frequency of 64.25MHz. It is far easier to refer to it as channel 2, than as frequency 64.25MHz. The same reasoning applies to the sequential channel list. It is easier to name the frequency of 64.25MHz as channel 2, and store it in position 2 in the sequential list. The naming of channels is performed in the 'Manual installation' menu.
